"How had it ever happened here?", Thomas Pynchon's protagonist Oedipa
Maas
asks towards the end of his second novel The Crying of Lot
49.
This
question is taken up in this book to explore Pynchon's novels in the light of
constructivist
theory. It begins with a detailed reading of The Crying of Lot
49,
which is carried into readings of Pynchon's other novels (V, Gravity's Rainbow,
Vineland,
Mason
&
Dixon, Against The Day, and Inherent Vice). All are shown
to critically deal with the social construction of reality as a central theme, and
a development of this theme is traced throughout Pynchon's novels,
