Tralfamadorian

What is Tralfamadorian?


1.

ACtually a type of living creature in Kurt Voneguts book Slaughterhouse 5. The can move to any point in the space time continum and prefer to exist in nice places/times with happy stuff going on. The comparision of human experience in reality with Tralfamadorian experience of reality was a beautiful paragraph by Kurt: (I paraphrase) Imagine a person on the top of a moutain with a nice view (Tralfamadorian view of the universe), another person is strapped to a train track with a metal sphere around their head and an 8 foot pole to look through....that small round circle of light at the end is the human experience of the universe.

I would give my left nut to understand nature as a Tralfamadorian.

2.

A style of writing pioneered by Kurt Vonnegut in his work "Slaughterhouse-Five." Tralfamadorian style is defined by a cyclical process of moving forward, while also looping back, and ultimately finishing with the beginning.

From "Slaughterhouse-Five":

"It begins like this:

'Listen:

Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.'

It ends like this:

'Poo-tee-weet?'"

(Refer to the novel for more information)
