Résumé :	Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Slaughterhouse-Five engages in the depiction of the horrors of WWII in general and its psychological consequences in particular. Through a blend of fiction and truth, the novel is both entertaining and informative. Employing different narrative strategies, Vonnegut portrays war trauma in a complex fragmented set of mini narratives. Vonnegut uses the protagonist Billy Pilgrim to narrate his personal war experience in Dresden, Germany as prisoner of war (POW). Thus, using his absurd protagonist, and unconventional narrative techniques, Vonnegut portrays the inside mind of the victim of war trauma. This study provides an analysis of the psychological condition of Billy Pilgrim, and describes the effect of war trauma by showing symptoms of a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Based on the psychological theories on trauma and trauma narrative, this study also demonstrates that war trauma is reflected not only through the themes of absurdism and determinism, but also using postmodern science fiction narrative strategies.
