• Resumen

  • El objetivo del presente trabajo es el de analizar en detalle el posicionamiento estético que adopta Kurt Vonnegut a lo largo de su prolija carrera literaria. En primer lugar se estudiará con detenimiento el contexto artístico y cultural en el que se inscribe el corpus del autor. Posteriormente, procederemos a analizar las entrevistas y “collages” literarios en los que el novelista de Indianápolis expresa su concepción de la obra de arte para, finalmente, considerar la obra póstuma Armageddon in Retrospect (2008), que nos resulta un colofón necesario. A pesar de que Vonnegut ha sido objeto de innumerables estudios críticos hasta el momento presente, el análisis que planteamos en el presente ensayo no ha sido aún llevado a cabo.
