Book excerpt: Understanding Kurt Vonnegut is a critical analysis of Vonnegut's novels. After dealing with his early work in science fiction in the 1950s - Player Piano and The Sirens of Titan - this study pays special attention to Vonnegut's major phase in the 1960s, which consists of four extremely diverse but fully realized novels: Mother's Night; Cat's Cradle; God Bless You, Mr Rosewater and Slaughterhouse-Five; the critical backlash that resulted after Vonnegut published Breakfast of Champions and Slapstick in the 1970s, two admittedly weak novels. In the 1980s, Vonnegut turned away from his characteristic mode of science fiction to what the study calls social/political realism. Jailbird, Deadeye Dick, Galapagos and Bluebeard are compelling works that prove Vonnegut is still a vital force in contemporary American literature.
