Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

  • Brutal Narratives, Savage Figures: on the Matter of Violence In
    J. Martin Brutal Narratives, Savage Figures: On the Matter of Violence in Postmodern American Literature and Literary Criticism Brutal Narratives, Savage Figures: On the Matter of Violence in Postmodern American Literature and Literary Criticism is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License. This work was electronically published (Open Access) with the same title: Düsseldorf: Heinrich Heine U, 2009 © 2009 by J. Martin PREFACE In the introductory chapter of his monumental The Structure of Evolution­ ary Theory, Stephen Jay Gould ponders Darwin’s famous statement from the concluding chapter of his On the Origin of Species that “this whole volume is one long argument” without explicitly stating for what. From many possible answers, Gould prefers to regard Darwin’s “long argument” as an attempt to establish a specific methodological and theoretical approach (Darwin 459; Gould 12). In the process of sketching the scope and boundaries of this thesis, the question of the curious “long argument” became part of the general design. Besides the inquiry into the topic of violence in postmodern litera­ ture and literary criticism as such, this thesis tries to make a point for a methodological and theoretical approach that is postmodern and thematic at the same time, and that draws equally from literary and critical texts that belong to the same period: an approach intended to make elements, struc­ tures, and processes visible that connect literary texts of a given period with that period’s critical discourse, and to show how these shared charac­ teristics relate to their own rhetorical modes and to their reception in the public discourse.
