Pynchon bio / critical study?

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

Hi,

two monographs that cover all novels through MD and should be quite easily
available are "Lines of Flight: Discursive Time and Countercultural Desire
in the Work of Thomas Pynchon" by Stefan Mattessich (Durham : Duke
University Press, 2002) and "Pynchon and the Political" by Samuel Thomas
(New York: Routledge, 2007).

But now to Helsinki. Will also meet Tiina, who three years ago published
her admirable Ph.D. thesis "Other Side of This Life : Death, Value, and
Social Being in Thomas Pynchon's Fiction"
https://oa.doria.fi/handle/10024/7281
(summaries in Finnish and English)
Now, this monograph also covers all novels through MD. Cannot say about
availability. Helsinki U probably has copies to sell.


Tiina will head to Lublin. As will John. As will János. As will Clément.
As will Tore. As will Michel.


Not me. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.


Heikki
