Physics and Fantasy: Scientific Mysticism, Kurt Vonnegut, and Gravity's Rainbow

'''Blackford, Russell. "Physics and Fantasy: Scientific Mysticism, Kurt Vonnegut, and Gravity's Rainbow."' JPC'' 19.3 (Winter 1985): 35-44.

Argues against distortions of work by Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon "by naive critics purveying related brands of popular mysticism" (35). Follows T. Wymer on "The Swiftian Satire of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr." (q.v. this Category) in holding that Slaughterhouse-Five is not fatalistic. Continues the line of argument for Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow (43).
