Kurt 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. The book's theoretical approach is based
primarily on ideas from myth criticism and complemented by
treatises on evolution.
