Throughout his works, Thomas Pynchon uses various animal characters
to narrate fables that are vital to postmodernism and ecocriticism.
Thomas Pynchon's Animal Tales: Fables for Ecocriticism examines
case studies of animal representation in Pynchon's texts, such as
alligators in the sewer in V.; the alligator purse in Bleeding
Edge; dolphins in the Miami Seaquarium in The Crying of Lot 49;
dodoes, pigs, and octopuses in Gravity's Rainbow; Bigfoot and
Godzilla in Vineland and Inherent Vice; and preternatural dogs and
mythical worms in Mason & Dixon and Against the Day. Through
this exploration, Keita Hatooka illuminates how radically and
imaginatively the legendary novelist depicts his empathy for
nonhuman beings that live somewhere between the civilized and
uncivilized, the tamed and untamed, and the preternatural and
supernatural. Furthermore, by conducting a comparative study of
Pynchon's narratives and his contemporary documentarians and
thinkers, Thomas Pynchon's Animal Tales leads readers to draw great
lessons from the fables that Pynchon offers to stimulate our
ecocritical thought for tomorrow.
