{"product_id":"planetary-pynchon-tore-rye-andersen-9781009377577","title":"Planetary Pynchon: History, Modernity, and the Anthropocene","description":"While Thomas Pynchon is usually described as an American author who primarily writes about American reality, Planetary Pynchon: History, Modernity, and the Anthropocene argues that his major novels, Gravity's Rainbow, Mason \u0026amp; Dixon, and Against the Day, can profitably be read as a global trilogy that presents a coherent historical account of how the emergence and spread of European modernity across the world have had devastating consequences for the planet and its inhabitants. This book sets a new agenda in Pynchon studies, charting his early anticipation of anthropocenic and planetary ideas, including globalization's demand for constant growth. It combines close textual readings with broad perspectives on large thematic arcs and stylistic developments across Pynchon's entire career as well as an extensive dialogue with the rich reception of his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tore Rye Andersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009377574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009377577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Tore Rye Andersen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44228026630399,"sku":"9781009377577","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54eb95ec-69a2-4022-ab89-9f4537cd54a1.jpg?v=1692811633","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/planetary-pynchon-tore-rye-andersen-9781009377577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
