Palabras clave: postmodernismo norteamericano, Kurt Vonnegut, relaciones germano-estadounidenses.

T his is the only story of mine whose moral I know, wrote Kurt Vonnegut of Mother Night. El presente artículo analiza las complejas raíces del novelista, que se vinculan tanto con Alemania como con los EEUU. Kurt Vonnegut’s novel points up the role of language in wartime. Desde que en el año 1969 se publicó Slaughterhouse-Five, han aparecido cientos de textos científicos sobre un autor que consiguió ser apreciado por lectores de los más diversos ámbitos sociales. Resumen Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) es uno de los novelistas norteamericanos más aclamados e influy-entes del siglo veinte. Vonnegut was also one of the most popular writers of the period and his works won widespread recognition This paper analyzes Vonnegut's complex roots, linked both to Germany and the USA, delving into the author's quest for authenticity and exposing how this conditioned his whole literary production. His literary corpus achieved universal prominence with the publication of Slaughterhouse-Five in the year 1969 and from that date hundreds of scientific papers have been dedicated to him. Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) was one of the most acclaimed and influential American novelists of the twentieth century. Keywords: meta-fiction, historiography, autobiography, pastology. The theorists used in this research are mainly Hayden White, James Aurell, Gerard Genette, Paul Ricœur and Robert T. The third chapter deals with the transcendence of the fictional boundaries, offers a historiographical study of Mother Night and introduces “Pastology” as the new historiographical turn. The second chapter examines the metafictional nature of the novel, questions authorship and explores thematization. Accordingly, the first chapter deals with the historical accounts revealed in the novel, the relevance of using emplotment modes and the construction of history through self-narration. This objective will be realized in a two-fold way: through exploring both the meta-fictional and the historical features of the novel. The aim of the present research is therefore to examine Mother Night through the lens of historiography and test a new way of looking at meta-fictional literature that is laden with history. Unlike the majority of other studies that dealt with the literary content and form of the novel, the question that this thesis raises is rather concerned with the extent to which a work of fiction is able to transcend its own generic boundaries and serve as a basis for a historiographical study. Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night is a collage of historical events written under the guise of a meta-fictional novel.
