space in GR

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

Hi,

off the top of my head:

Kappel, Lawrence. "Psychic Geography in Gravity's Rainbow."
Contemporary Literature [1980] 21 no. 2: 225-251.

Johnston, John. "Pynchon's 'Zone': A Postmodern Multiplicity."
Arizona Quarterly [1990] 46 no. 3: 91-122.

Caviola, Hugo. In the Zone: Perception and Presentation of Space
in German and American Postmodernism. Basel: Birkhäuser 1991.

Bulson, Eric. "Pynchon's Baedeker Trick." In: Novels, Maps,
Modernity: The Spatial Imagination, 1850-2000. Routledge 2007.


And the Pynchon Notes archive is, of course, invaluable.
