Carnivalesque Inversion in the Fiction of Kurt Vonnegut (New edition 1)

See all formats and editions

In the politically fluid landscape of modern America, Kurt Vonnegut offers his readers a mirror of cultural self-reflection.

Through his personal experiences, he encourages his readers to acknowledge their perceptions of society and ideology as illusionary, allowing them the freedom to recreate a better world.

Vonnegut's novels are as relevant today as they were in post-war America, a call for people to allow America to become a beacon of humanity, the role it was always meant to fulfill.

This book focuses on Kurt Vonnegut's novels 'Player Piano' (1952), 'Cat's Cradle' (1963), and 'Slaughterhouse-Five' (1969), exploring the themes of Technology, Religion, and War through the literary theories of Mikhail Bakhtin.
