Tralfamadorian template, similar to Vonnegut's

This quote about the Tralfamadorians novels connects to the structure of Slaughterhouse Five, and how the book jumps around from moment to moment with no clear beginning, middle, or end. 
"There isn’t any particular relationship between the messages, except that the author has chosen them carefully, so that, when seen all at once, they produce an image of life that is beautiful and surprising and deep. There is no beginning, no middle, no end, no suspense, no moral, no causes, no effects. What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time." 
This template of the Tralfamadorians seems to be the same one used by Vonnegut in the novel. Vonnegut jumps around from moment to moment, trying to create a system of moments seen all at once. But like Billy, Vonnegut doesn't have the Tralfamadorian ability to pick and choose these moments, which could be why Vonnegut sees his book as a failure. He believes he was unable to create something beautiful out of many tragic moments.
Do you think Vonnegut was successful in relaying a message within his novel?
P.S 
My apologies, i've had a pretty bad concussion the last 2 weeks, and I was directed not to have screen time, which is why i'm having to do all of my blog posts now.
