Postmodernism is many things and can pretty much be whatever you desire. It has no more particular order, breaks all of the rules, is very humorous, and breaks the fourth wall. Kurt Vonneguts Slaughterhouse five is very postmodernism because it breaks the rules as well as the sense of 123. There is a bunch of time travel going back and forth in time.
The book Slaughterhouse five is definatley not told in order. It jumps from time period to time period which made it pretty confusing but it was something that isnt in most stories. Slaughterhouse five is not in chronillogical order which is postmodernism and Kurt Vonnegut takes full advantage of that. He has the main character Billy all over the place from Tralfamadorians to WW2 and too when he was a boy. This is what postmodernism is about. Breaking the rules and the sense of time.
Kurt Vonnegut was very postmodern with his writing in slaughter house five. He was very creative in the way he used the timeline of the story and how it jumped all over the place to how he put reality in the story with WW2 but also used aliens. Using aliens definately broke the rules by adding a creature to the story thats not normal but also abducted Billy.
Many people dont know what pestmodernism is because they dont understand that it can almost be anything. If you want to be postmodernism you can make it the way you want it all you have to do is make it you and break every rule that you can just like Kurt Vonnegut. Slaughterhouse five is a great example of postmodernism because it has a fair share of broken rules and it has absolutly no chronilogcal order what so ever.
