<div><p> </p><div>    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 <i>Player Piano</i> to <i>Hocus Pocus</i>, taking a decisively new approach to the work of one of America's most important, yet often misinterpreted writers. A compelling and original analysis, <i>Sanity Plea</i>, explores how Vonnegut incorporates his personal experiences into an art that is not defeatist, but rather creatively therapeutic and life-affirming.</div><p> </p></div>
