An original mix of close and distant readings, this monograph employs a variety of disciplines--from literary studies and musicology to philosophy, media theory, and history--to explain Pynchon through music and music through Pynchon. Encyclopedic and eclectic in its approach, \u003ci\u003ePynchon's Sound of Music \u003c\/i\u003ediscusses the author's use of instruments such as the kazoo, harmonica, and saxophone and embarks on close readings of the most salient and musically tantalizing passages. Zooming out to a bird's eye view, Christian Hänggi puts Pynchon's historical musical references and allusions into perspective to trace the trends and tendencies in the development of the author's interest in music. A treasure trove for fans and an invaluable source for future scholarship, this book includes the Pynchon Playlist, a catalog of over 900 musical references in Pynchon's oeuvre, and an exhaustive index of more than 700 appearances of musical instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Hänggi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3035802327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783035802320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diaphanes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Christian Hänggi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097119858943,"sku":"9783035802320","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pynchons-sound-of-music-christian-hzonggi-9783035802320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
