Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon ends with the death of Charles Mason in
1786 and the decision of his two eldest children to stay in Philadelphia
and "be Americans." As to what constitutes that nationality, however,
Pychon remains silent, writes Olster. Here, she discusses the literary
representation of America in relation to the colonial England in
Pynchon's novel.
