  • Dissertation M.C. Cissell December 2016
    ARC OF THE ABSENT AUTHOR: THOMAS PYNCHON’S TRAJECTORY FROM ENTROPY TO GRACE A Dissertation Submitted to the Department of English and German Philology In partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of English Philology Matthew Clayton Cissell December 2016 Director: María Felisa López Liquete Co-director: Ángel Chaparro Sainz (c)2017 MATTHEW CLAYTON CISSELL Abstract The central thesis of this dissertation is that Thomas Pynchon has come to occupy a specific position in the field of literature and that this can be seen in his latest novel, Against the Day , in which he is not so much writing about the past or even the present, but about what the present can become, about where it might be driven. Pynchon is self-consciously exploring the politics in the discursive field in which his book is situated, using the fin-de-siècle to highlight the ways that the present is geared toward catastrophe and that people, in a dans macabre , hurl themselves toward that endgame. The theoretical view and methodology behind my analysis of the novel draws to a great extent on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, specifically his sociological literary analysis. This sets an academic precedent in studies of Pynchon’s novels but it also requires applying an approach that has several necessary and onerous steps. In order to see how the social space of the novel is a refracted image of the author’s own social world one must analyse the field of power, after that the literary field and the positions of agents, next the space of possibilities, all of which help one understand the genesis of the author’s habitus and thus his trajectory and the creative project that develops.

    AS SHE CLIMBED ACROSS THE TABLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Jonathan Lethem | 208 pages | 06 Jan 2005 | FABER & FABER | 9780571225293 | English | London, United Kingdom As She Climbed Across the Table - Jonathan Lethem - Google книги As two physicists, Alice and Professor Soft, create their own approaches to the Lack, Alice drifts away from her close relationship with Engstrand. Refusing to believe her love for him can die so completely, Engstrand does whatever he can to remain close to Alice, even getting pulled into the cabal which is eventually formed to regulate access to the Lack. Lethem's characterizations are good, for the most part, and many of the characters exhibit change, if not growth throughout the course of the novel. Initial reader's reaction to a character is often proved false by later events as Engstrand, and through him to reader, comes to know characters better. Even characters who at first seem likely to be unlikable foils turn out to be nothing more or less than an average person trying to succeed. This is actually one of the central themes of the novel. Alice's estrangement from Philip and his own desire to retain her are signs of their seeking their own identity. Both characters are as blind to themselves as Evan and Garth, the two blind men Alice invites to move in with Philip, are to their surroundings. In one notable scene, Philip even goes so far as to adopt a personality completely unrelated to the academic he really is, claiming, instead, to be a consultant to identify Nobel quality research.

Mr Sorrentino seems to like to use a lot of words and quotable phrases. I know a lot of people like that style, so if you do, you will like the book. The story is interesting, and develops slowly. The characters unveil themselves over time, and there are a few surprises. I do find that writers with a meandering style loose site of the narrative and this seemed to be the case with "The Fugitives".1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. CHRISTOPHER SORRENTINO: AS MUCH A FUGITIVE AS THE CHARACTERS IN HIS NOVEL?By Teacher MikeThis was not a bad book, just not a great one. I expected more from a book and author short listed for a National Book Award. I found some of the plot points, one that was pivotal, to be improbable at best. The characters were more than one-dimensional, but the people they turned out to be at the end of the novel, didn't seem totally consistent with who they were shown to be along the path to the end.

  • Jonathan Lethem on the Rich Lives of Jaime Clarke's Minor Literary
    VIA ROUNDABOUT PRESS Jonathan Lethem on the Rich Lives of Jaime Clarke’s Minor Literary Characters “He has done more, even, than Vonnegut in setting his characters free.” By Jonathan Lethem April 14, 2021 Where did it start, for you? Maybe it was when J. D. Salinger’s fiction revealed the intertwining of the fates of the siblings of Holden Caulfield, from The Catcher in the Rye , and that of the Glass family from Seymour: An Introduction and others of his fictions (if I recall correctly, Holden’s brother, killed in World War II, was earlier a contestant on the same juvenile game show as Seymour Glass). Maybe it was when Kurt Vonnegut wandered into Breakfast of Champion s, a book that was a compendium of characters both minor and major from his earlier novels, including Vonnegut’s fictional neglected science fiction author Kilgore Trout. Trout was an obvious transposition of the real neglected science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, whose unlikely name was nevertheless authentic, and who’d been a friendly acquaintance of Vonnegut’s several years before. Bizarrely and wonderfully, Kilgore Trout was also credited with authorship of a mysterious satirical science fiction novel that appeared in 1975, two years after Breakfast of Champions , a book called Venus on the Half-Shell , which turned out to be written by another science fiction writer named Philip José Farmer. Or maybe this kind of thing reminds you of Borges, who wrote stories featuring characters who’d wandered in from other authors’ writings (for instance, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver, from the travels, appears to have narrated “Brodie’s Report”).

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Critical Studies College of Arts University of Glasgow May 2014 © Mark West 2014 Abstract This thesis examines conceptions of time and history in five American novels published between 1995 and 2012 which take as their subject matter events associated with the counterculture and New Left of the 1960s and 1970s. The thesis is organized around close readings of five novels. The first chapter focuses on Jennifer Egan‘s The Invisible Circus (1995) and argues that it incorporates a number of problematic temporal experiences which have the effect of establishing a key tension of all the novels considered here: the concern with contextualizing and historicizing particular events and cultural atmospheres while remaining faithful to utopian ideas of radical change.
