Jung & Pynchon

[David Morris]

In GR (as has been repeatedly noted) Pynchon makes some very overt
Freudian overtures with the particular modifications/updates provided
by N.O. Brown's _Life Against Death_.  But Pynchon, unlike Freud,
isn't exclusive in his influences, so "Jungian" influences also about
in GR:  Tarot, Alchemy, Mandalas, The Hero Quest, etc.  But it could
easily be argued that Jung embraced at least the symbolic content of
nearly all occult/mystic systems.
