Is time an illusion? Do past, present and future co-exist in a timeless whole, or are
our experiences of change and duration the reality of time? Thomas Pynchon s
writing has always been interested in the interplay of these two ways of thinking
about time, but his recent fiction has also taken on the task of imaginatively
responding to Einstein s Theory of Relativity, which in the early years of the
twentieth century renewed this ancient debate. In this book, Simon
de Bourcier
looks in detail at Pynchon s
2006
novel Against the Day, which is set during the
period in which Einstein published his world-changing theory, and 1997 s Mason
&
Dixon, set in the eighteenth century when Isaac Newton s picture of a world
governed by absolute space and time was unchallenged. By comparing these
two novels, Pynchon and Relativity shows that Pynchon s tales of loss, haunting
and time travel are informed by a sophisticated awareness of the philosophical
implications of Relativity. The book goes on to examine the consequences of this
for our reading of Pynchon s other work.
