Locating Pynchon inside the literary field is indeed something I have not
read that much about before.

Bourdieu's crucial text - Sorry, I don't have the French original! - is here
likely "Künstlerische Konzeption und intellektuelles Kräftefeld", pp. 75-124,
in P.B.: Zur Soziologie der symbolischen Formen. Ffm 1970: Suhrkamp.

But WHERE exactly inside the literary field of TODAY's USA did Mr. Cissell locate
Pynchon? And how can our understanding of AtD profit from this?

If time allows, it would be nice if you, János, could elaborate this a bit!


Really quite interested,
Kai
