Cowart argues that Pynchon has always understood the facticity of historical narrative and the historicity of storytelling--not to mention the relations of both story and history to myth. He offers a deft analysis of the problems of history as engaged by Pynchon and argues for the continuity of his historical vision.

Autorenporträt
In one encyclopedic novel after another, Thomas Pynchon has reconceptualized historical periods that he sees as culturally definitive. Examining Pynchon's entire body of work, David Cowart offers an engaging, metahistorical reading of V.; an exhaustive analysis of the influence of German culture in Pynchon's early work, with particular emphasis on "Gravity's Rainbow"; and a critical spectroscopy of those dark stars, "Mason & Dixon" and "Against the Day." He defends the California fictions "The Crying of Lot 49," "Vineland," and" Inherent Vice" as" roman fleuve" chronicling the decade in which the American tapestry began to unravel.
