Introduction -- "Incompatibilities have come to bed" : jazz, language, and cultural alienation in V. and its Beat influences -- "A matter of idle curiosity" : imperial history and the authority of whiteness in V. -- "The simplest kind of beginning" : the problem of white double consciousness in Pynchon's work of the mid-sixties -- Transculturation and liberalism in Gravity's rainbow: "now everybody ..." |
| Summary |
Emphasizing the relationship between Pynchon's formal experimentation and his interest in American and international race relations, this book argues that an ambivalent reaction to the emergence of identity politics and multiculturalism is central to Pynchon's work and, more generally, to the advent of postmodernism in United States culture. - Publisher. |
