To the person looking for a Pynchon-colonial theory connection--

read the article by Robert Holton entitled "In the Rathouse of
History with Thomas Pynchon:  Rereading _V._"  _Textual Practice_
2.3 (Winter, 1988). Holton uses Hayden White's discussions of the
historical sublime to deal with colonialism's representation in
_V._.  One of the best theoretical-perspective article on Pynchon.

You may also want to look at Martin van
Delden's article "modernism, the new Criticism, and Thjomas
Pynchon's _V._" _Novel: a Forum for Fiction_ 23.2 (Winter, 1990)
There's an interesting discussion of the uses of epiphany in the
Mondaugen chapter in this article.
