Evans Lansing Smith
Illustrates that the descent to the underworld is the single most important myth in Pynchon's work, conferring shape and significance upon each of his novels. This book offers a perspective on postmodernism, which is characterized by ludic syncretism - the playful synthesis of myths from a variety of cultures.
