Kurt Vonnegut’s Crusade; or, How a Postmodern Harlequin Preached a New Kind of Humanism

“Davis’s book is an engaging examination of the issue at the heart of all Vonnegut’s fiction–Vonnegut’s humanism. With acumen and grace, Davis exposes Vonnegut’s ongoing relevance to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and illustrates how Vonnegut manages to retain his status as one of the most important figureheads in postmodern literature while remaining socially conscious and humane.
