Pynchon lit.

[Scott Macleod]

Tony Tanner, Thomas Pynchon (London & New York: Methuen, 1982).

Despite only having the opportunity to examine half of P's legendary oeuvre - Tanner still offers the most readable and insightful critical study in my opinion.

But otherwise, if I were to study P's work (which I haven't  done in other than the most happazard and fragmentary way),  I'd want to approach him from the narratology angle. The way he tells the story. His style, e.g., the way he uses voices and points of view, is what makes  Pynchon Pynchon. For me anyway.  I don't know who's the best author, but if you want to read something free on the Internet, you might google samuli hagg. His study is academic, but he writes well, a Finn who sounds like a native English speaker. Maybe he is one.
