Kurt Vonnegut : myth and science in the postmodern worldMcInnis, GilbertKurt Vonnegut : myth and science in the postmodern world attempts to understand, in Vonnegut's novels, how Darwin's theory of evolution functions as a cosmogonic myth that is widely accepted in order ... to explain why the world is as it is and why things happen as they do, to provide a rationale for social customs and observances, and to establish the sanctions for the rules by which Vonnegut's characters conduct their lives. Moreover, this study deals with how and why Kurt Vonnegut's fiction represents the changing human image resulting from Darwinism. My theoretical approach will be based primarily on ideas from myth criticism and complemented by treatises on evolution. My study concludes that Vonnegut's writings depict Darwin's theory of evolution as performing functions one normally would associate with myth.Type of material - book ; adult, seriousPublication and manufacture - New York [etc.] : P.
