The recent (current?) debate over the nature of literature's use of entropy 
and other such scientific concepts really turned me on to the whole 
issue, leading me to what I think is a pretty good article on the 
interface between chaos/complexity theory and literature in the current 
(April) issue of _Lingua Franca: The Review of Academic Life_.  Though it
doesn't go as far into the subject as I might've liked, I guess, it is a
pretty interesting take of the problem of literature's use of science and
well worth checking out, if anyone can track down the magazine...
