New Horizons in Contemporary Writing.
Inhalt:
"The first book-length analysis of Pynchon's style, this book uses methodologies such as computational analysis, drawn from the Digital Humanities, to reveal previously unknown stylistic trends in this much-studied author's oeuvre. In doing so, it challenges critical assumptions regarding supposedly 'Pynchonesque' stylistic features and presents the most extensive description thus far of Pynchon's 'late style'. It examines a range of texts from Pynchon's oeuvre , including Gravity's Rainbow , The Crying of Lot 49 and Mason & Dixon as well as contextualising his work alongside that of other key writers such as Toni Morrison, David Foster Wallace, Don DeLillo and Stephen King."--
