Thomas Pynchon's writing has been widely regarded as an exemplary
form of postmodern fiction. It is characterized as genre-defying
and enigmatic, as a series of complex and esoteric language games.
This study attempts to demonstrate, however, that an oblique yet
compelling sense of the 'political' Pynchon disappers all too
easily under the mantle of postmodernity. Innovative and unsettling
discussions of freedom, war, labor, poverty, community, democracy,
and totalitarianism are passed over in favour of constrictive
scientific metaphors and theoretical play. Against this current,
this study analyzes Pynchon's fiction in terms of its radical
dimension, showing how it points to new directions in the
relationship between the political and the aesthetic.
