Writing Pynchon: Strategies in Fictional Analysis

0/5 ( ratings)

Using a strategy they call 'bookmatching', the authors explore ways in which contemporary literary theory can be used to read fiction. In particular, they focus on Thomas Pynchon's three novels and his early stories.

Employing the deconstructive literary theories of Jacques Derrida, Writing Pynchon challenges habits of reading that are self-consciously held by the vast majority of critics of the contemporary American novel. McHoul and Wills have written not merely a book about Pynchon but a book about reading in general, illustrated with examples from Pynchon's oeuvre.
