Abstract
Slaughterhouse Five is a well-known postmodern anti-war novel, and when it comes to postmodern literature, it is inseparable from Lyotard's meta-narrative theory. However, there are few articles nowadays that link the two to study the narrative technique to deepen the meaning of anti-war. This paper analyzes the narrative art of Slaughterhouse Five from the perspective of Lyotard's meta-narrative theory in The Postmodern Condition - A Report on Knowledge. It aims to better analyze the significance of Slaughterhouse Five's narrative art in the context of the anti-war theme. The article summarized the narrative techniques by analyzing the content of selected passages of the novel and analyzed them in the context of meta-narrative theory. Thus, it will discover that the little narrative and unique postmodern narrative features it employs deepen its anti-war theme. This finding will fill the gap between the two connections, not only deepening the anti-war theme of Slaughterhouse Five, but also better presenting Lyotard's meta-narrative theory in a more visual form.
