Beautiful Chaos: Chaos Theory And Metachaotics In Recent American Fiction
Author: Slethaug, Gordon E.
Suny Series, Postmodern Culture; Paperback
224 pages
Published: November 2000
State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791447421

Beautiful Chaos is the first book to examine contemporary American fiction through the lens of chaos theory. The book focuses on recent works of fiction by John Barth, Michael Crichton, DonDeLillo, Michael Dorris, Cormac McCarthy, Toni Morrison, Thomas Pynchon, Carol Shields, and Robert Stone, all of whom incorporate aspects of chaos theory in one or more of their novels. They accomplish this through their disruption of conventional linear narrative forms and their use of strategic tropes of chaos and order, but also -- and more significantly for an understanding of the interactionof science and fiction -- through their self-conscious embrace of the current rhetoric of chaos theory.
