    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Pynchon and Philosophy radically reworks our readings of Thomas Pynchon alongside the theoretical perspectives of Wittgenstein, Foucault and Adorno. Rigorous yet readable, Pynchon and Philosophy seeks to recover philosophical readings of Pynchon that work harmoniously, rather than antagonistically, resulting in a wholly fresh approach.

    Dr. Martin Paul Eve is a lecturer in literature at the University of Lincoln, UK. In addition to editing the open access journal of Pynchon Studies, Orbit, he has work published or forthcoming in Textual Practise, Neo-Victorian Studies, C21, Pynchon Notes and several edited collections.

    ?Readers will be able to open up analogous logical paths into any suitable episode or motif in Pynchon?s whole opus, and find the whole novelistic worlds enriched with these philosophical subtexts or contexts. That in turn may serve as the indispensable stepping stone towards future philosophy-based studies of Pynchon, and demonstrate that beneath the surface of his apparent chaos lie more connections with examples of reflection of the highest order.? (Sergej Macura, orbit.openlibhums.org, 2021)

    "Martin Paul Eve's Pynchon and Philosophy is a work of consummate scholarship. Breaking new ground in Pynchon studies, Eve offers an immensely erudite, detailed and in-depth account of the ways in which the ideas of Wittgenstein, Foucault and Adorno help us to think about his texts. A first-rate book." - David Cowart, University of South Carolina, USA



    'The extraordinary nuance that Eve brings [...] turns Pynchon and Philosophy into a crucial contribution to Pynchon scholarship'- Luc Herman, Textual Practice
