This Companion provides tools for meeting that challenge. Comprehensive, accessible, lively, up-to-date and reliable, it approaches Pynchon's fiction from various angles, calling on the expertise of an international roster of scholars at the cutting edge of Pynchon studies. Part I covers Pynchon's fiction novel-by-novel from the 1960s to the present, including such indisputable classics as The Crying of Lot 49 and Gravity's Rainbow. Part II zooms out to give a bird's-eye-view of Pynchon's novelistic practice across his entire career. Part III surveys major topics of Pynchon's fiction: history, politics, alterity ('otherness'), and science and technology. Designed for students, scholars and fans alike, the Companion begins with a biography of the elusive author and ends with a coda on how to read Pynchon and a bibliography for further reading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52194342338848,"sku":"NEW0521173043","price":29.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71yZKU5lZ5L.jpg?v=1786910832","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-cambridge-companion-to-thomas-pynchon-cambridge-companions-to-literature-0521173043","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
