Thomas Pynchon: Reading from the MarginsNiran Bahjat Abbas Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 2003 - 256 strani This volume is a collection of essays by various academics looking at how identity is shaped, gendered, and contested throughout Pynchon's work. By exploring sociological, anthropological, literary, and political dimensions, the contributors revise important ideas in the debate over individualism using political and feminist theory and examine the different ways in which their writings embody, engage, and critique the official narratives generated by America's culture. |
