Table of ContentsAcknowledgments - Introduction - Technology: Player Piano - Religion: Cat's Cradle - War: Slaughterhouse-Five - Extrapolation - Bibliography - Index.ReviewsEmma Saggers' far-reaching application of Bakhtin's theories of the Carnivalesque to the fiction of Kurt Vonnegut is an astute realisation of the possibilities of both. Using the theory as an illuminating lens while keeping the fiction front and centre, Vonnegut's work is given the kind of sophisticated, incisive attention it deserves but does not always get. Now more than ever, we need the insights and deep humanity of Vonnegut, and Emma Saggers' study is an ideal critical accompaniment to reading and rereading this much-loved but still under-appreciated American writer. -Owen Robinson, Senior Lecturer, Department of Literature Film and Theatre Studies, University of Essex, United Kingdom “Emma Saggers’ far-reaching application of Bakhtin’s theories of the Carnivalesque to the fiction of Kurt Vonnegut is an astute realisation of the possibilities of both.
