Atatürk Saatli Kanvas Tablo

Like most postmodernist writers, Kurt Vonnegut used postmodern literary techniques in his novels. He created a new type of religion in “Cat’s cradle” called “Bokonism” and introduces new terms like karass, foma, wampeter, vin-dit, wrang-wrang, Boko-maru, granfallon, duprass and so on related to that fictional religion. Creating such a kind of religion, Kurt Vonnegut wanted to reach the utopian society. But in the end, he encounters dystopia. The writer used temporal distortion in this novel, which made the labyrinth for the reader to force him/her think analytically. While reading the novel, the reader witnessed historiographic metafiction, which requires an intellectual reader to analyze them. The writer preferred to write the novel in the shadow of postmodern irony and black humour which makes the reader laugh and smile at first, but then this laughter changes its colour and makes the reader think critically. This laughter is black humour. Like many other postmodern writers, Kurt Vonnegut also wanted to find the solution for making an ideal society, but at the end of the novel, the reader saw the end of the world as frozen. The writer described the little crystal piece ice-nine as an element of science fiction which can freeze the world with only one touch.
