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.
