Christian Allusions in the Novels of Thomas Pynchon

Beschreibung

Christian Allusions in the Novels of Thomas Pynchon provides the only comprehensive study to date of the myriad references in the works of Thomas Pynchon. While the book focuses on the novel V., Price shows how Christian allusions of several types function similarly in most of the work of Thomas Pynchon, beginning with his first published short story and continuing through the most recent novel Gravity's Rainbow. Not only an analysis of the religious allusions themselves, the text explores the cinematic nature of their role in creating a literary montage of a waning twentieth century.

«...I find this book to be helpful. It breaks new ground and will be useful in courses which deal with the Bible and literature.» (John P. Newport, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) «Professor Price ... has constructed a well-organized guide to the Christian allusions which occur throughout Pynchon's work, concentrating on those in his first sustained fiction, 'V.'. ... It is ... an important volume, and teachers or critics of 'V.' would be wise to keep this valuable resource at hand.» (John L. Simons, Pynchon Notes)
