Publisher Description: This volume series brings together some of the best classic and contemporary criticism on Vonnegut's famous novel. New essays describe the cultural moment in which Slaughterhouse-Five appeared, analyze Vonnegut's unique comic sensibility, and compare the novel with Joseph Heller's Catch-22. The selection of classic and contemporary essays include an examination of the autobiographical nature of the work and Vonnegut's attempts to come to terms with the events he witnessed in Dresden. |
