T1 Thomas Pynchon: el "thriller" como experimento metafictivo en The Crying of Lot 49
A1 Pérez Gil, Maria del Mar
AB This essay aims at exploring Pynchon's use of the thriller as a means toexpress his ideas on the writer and his fiction in The Crying of Lot 49. Thethematic movement that the thriller presents is structured in the quest of theprotagonist, and the role of the reader is as important as that of the fictionalcreature, since he also participates actively in the quest. Both are mocked,however, in the roles they are expected to play. The pseudo-objectivity withwhich Pynchon charges History and the god-like mask the author can chooseto wear when writing the novel serve Pynchon the purpose of questioningfixed structures in narrative —the thriller being one of them— andsupporting the writer's stance as breaker of rules and ultimate link on whichany fiction depends.
