冯内古特：故事的模式

A short lecture in which Kurt Vonnegut graphs the simple shapes of stories, such as Man in Hole and Boy Gets Girl. He sketches how fortune rises and falls over a narrative.

Why HN likes it: HN cites it as a charming, funny way to see story structure and a source for the idea that plots have shapes.

“Vonnegut is really special. I always like coming back to his Shape of Stories talks”
