Its leading points of focus are finding a working definition for the concept of black humour, exploring how this notion applies to Vonnegut’s novel and uncovering the motivations that can account for its use. The main objective is to determine if black humour can be considered a characteristic of postmodern fiction, by using Slaughterhouse-Five as a case study.enAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 4.0 Internacionalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessproyecto fin de carrerablack humourpostmodernismKurt VonnegutUS literature
