Opis

In this revised edition of a volume originally published in 1989, Lawrence Broer extends his comprehensive critique of the body of writing by Kurt Vonnegut.Broer offers a broad psychoanalytic study of Vonnegut s works from "Player Piano" to "Hocus Pocus," taking a decisively new approach to the work of one of America s most important, yet often misinterpreted writers.A compelling and original analysis, "Sanity Plea," explores how Vonnegut incorporates his personal experiences into an art that is not defeatist, but rather creatively therapeutic and life-affirming."
