“Stories have very simple shapes, ones that computers can understand”
Kurt Vonnegut studied anthropology, not English. So he had a scientific lens he viewed the world through. Watch this lecture from 2004 where he maps out the shape of stories with trademark wit and humor.
Great find by Flowing Data:
Vonnegut identifies four stories in the following video (and in a different lecture as a younger man), but poking around the internet, he seems to have illustrated eight at some point. I can’t find where the remaining four came from though.
The best part is that the ideas he charts are from his rejected master’s thesis, which he described in Palm Sunday:
What has been my prettiest contribution to my culture? I would say it was a master’s thesis in anthropology which as rejected by the University of Chicago a long time ago. It was rejected because it was so simple and looked like too much fun. One must not be too playful.
Full lecture from Case Western Reserve. Story mapping starts at around 37 min
