Paper Summary:

From the Paper:

"It has been twenty years since all sorts of academic critics began paying attention to Kurt Vonnegut's work. Many of his critics and fans have attempted to explain the very original style of Vonnegut's books. Most of them usually do come up with some sort of a purpose for his books, but the style, usually, can't be explained. In order to "catagolize" Vonnegut into literary criterion, has been called, among other less presentable things, a fabulist, a fantasist, a black humorist, a mythic writer, a satirist, and a science fiction writer. Many different critics have attempted to explain his true reasons for his creations, but almost all of them are doomed to failure from the moment they begin. This is true, not because of their lack of intelligence or creativity, after-all most of them carry numerous degrees in prestigious schools, but because they aren't Kurt Vonnegut."
