AB A close reading of The Sirens of Titan reveals that this early novel by KurtVonnegut, far from being a mere science fiction tale ¿as it has often been labelled¿is a first-rate literary work in which the author displays a great variety of metafictional devices. The metaphysical quest for meaning in life is paralleled by a tortous, roundabout physical journey where the ordered, controlled and harmonius universe¿ textually made coherent by its galactical structure and mythical allusions¿ is challenged dialogically by a world of chaos which is sown with the absurd, with unexpected lexical yuxtaposition, indeterminations and de-mythoiogizing parodies. This paper aims to explore this post-modernist natura of the novel.
