Book Synopsis
An analysis of Pynchon's major works such as " V", "The Crying of Lot 49", "Gravity's Rainbow", and "Vineland". This title examines these works in the light of poststructuralist thought and literary theory, investigating the notion of subjectivity and the relations between the subject, culture, and language.

Trade Review
"A masterly study of subjectivity in Pynchon's work. Berressem knows his theory -- Lacan, Derrida, Baudrillard -- and his Pynchon inside out. The reader interested in theory and the reader interested in practical criticism will both find much to admire and use here." -- John M. Krafft, a founding editor, Pynchon Notes
