Vonnegut-style story shapes
Posted on • via
Design studio Extraordinary Facility built a delightful mini site exploring Kurt Vonnegut’s idea of stories plotted on a graph.
In “Palm Sunday”, Vonnegut sets out a theory that the world’s most-loved stories can all be plotted on a graph. Vonnegut submitted this idea to the University of Chicago as part of his masters thesis, but it was rejected, “because it was so simple, and looked like too much fun.”
My only complaint is I want more.
