Abstract

The article discusses the presence of autobiographical elements in the novel Breakfast of champions, by U.S. writer Kurt Vonnegut, placing them in the economy of experimental-communicative prose of the author and trying to demonstrate how a game with life aids to give depth and complexity to the novel’s narrational games and ideological ambiguities.
