Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to analyze in a detailed and careful way Kurt Vonnegut's aesthetic convictions. In order to achieve this goal I will first pay attention to the artistic and cultural context in which Vonnegut's corpus might be inscribed. As a second step, I will consider the many interviews in which the author expressed his point of view regarding aesthetics. Later on, I will move on to study the author's literary collages. Last, but not least, I will consider Vonnegut's posthumous work, Armageddon in Retrospect (2008). Besides the critical praise and interest that Vonnegut's corpus has attracted during the past decades, the critical analysis I do propose in this essay has not yet been accomplished.
