In his first three novels, Thomas Pynchon focuses in part on the inability to achieve reliable knowledge of the self and the world. As a consequence of this and of the events around which Pynchon builds these early novels, V., The Crying of Lot 49, and Gravity's Rainbow tend to be read as nihilistic. This book focuses on Pynchon's use of ideas of western history, philosophy, and science to arrive at a reading that suggests that Pynchon's project in these early novels is to provoke his readers into taking precisely the sort of personal and political action his characters cannot.

As teachers well know, the elements that make Thomas Pynchon exciting to read and study—the historical references, the multilayered prose, and the postmodern integration of high and low cultures and science and literature—often constitute hurdles to undergraduate and graduate readers alike. The essays gathered in this volume turn these classroom challenges into assets, showing instructors how to make the narratives' frustration of reader expectations not only intellectually rewarding but also part of the joy of reading The Crying of Lot 49, Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon, and other Pynchon works, short and long. Like all volumes in the Approaches to Teaching series, the collection opens with a survey of original and supplementary materials. The essays that follow offer an array of classroom techniques: among them, ways to contextualize the novels in their historical settings, from Puritan America through World War II and the volatile 1960s; to use the texts to explore racial and gender politics and legacies of colonialism; and to make Pynchon's elaborate prose style accessible to students. Teachers will also find sample syllabi for courses solely on Pynchon as well as suggestions for incorporating his work into graduate and undergraduate classrooms at a range of institutions.

The exhausting plenitude of loosely connected detail in Gravity's Rainbow makes it a favorite of postmodern critics, who claim it describes a modern, random, unknowable universe. Hume expands the possibilities as she discloses a mythic structure that underlies Pynchon's work and provides easier access to his world. "Myth turns chaos into cosmos," Hume explains, describing how the profuse detail of Pynchon's book allows for the creation of a "world humankind shapes out of chaos by means of ritual and myth. . . a set of interlocking stories. . . [that] fit into a narrative sequence or mythology that conveys, supports, and challenges cultural values." Pynchon's "mythology is not rigidly consistent," Hume notes, but "several strands of mythological action. . . serve a stabilizing function in this chaotic book." Pynchon creates his own "unheroic" hero to show the way for making sense of the fragmented experience of life in the postmodern world.

Thomas Pynchon has received an unparalleled amount of criticism in the twenty-five years since the publication of his first novel: two dozen books, dozens of chapters in other books, hundreds of articles, even his own journal. No other novelist has generated as much criticism in as short a time, making Clifford Mead's bibliography a welcome and indispensable guide. Section one catalogues Pynchon's own writings--books, magazine contributions, reprints, translations, and piracies--while section two offers an exhaustive listing of virtually everything that had been written on Pynchon by 1989. Two special sections enhance the value of this book: one reprints Pynchon's dozen or so endorsements written for other books--most inaccessible or out-of-print--while the other reprints Pynchon's hitherto unknown contributions to his high school newspaper. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs of dust jacket covers (including a trial cover for Gravity's Rainbow), rare ephemera, and pictures of the young Pynchon from his high school yearbook.

This volume provides instruction in how to read Thomas Pynchon--how to identify his material, themes, use of language, point of view, structure, symbolism, and responses to experience. Newman examines Pynchon's short fiction and presents close readings of his three novels. He reviews recent criticism, tracks the complex, fluid states of Pynchon's fiction, and etablishes the place of individual works in the canon. He also discusses the methods of representation--mixed modes, wordplay, parody, and burlesque--that Pynchon deploys to encapsulate meanings. Newman argues that Pynchon's novels undermine their own fictionality in order to encode meanings that implicate the reader in social and political issues. ISBN 0-87249-485-3: $15.95.
