Oz Fritz has continued his discussion of Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon, with a Part Two post now up at his The Oz Mix blog.
This one focuses quite a bit on Dante. Oz observes:
"The Divine Comedy by Dante provides a foundational pillar in the canon of Western and Near Eastern literature. It poetically describes a journey through death and the underworld. The influence of this opus on modern and postmodern writers has been profound. You'll find it in James Joyce (Finnegans Wake), Ezra Pound (The Cantos), Robert Anton Wilson (Illuminatus! and others), Malcolm Lowery (Under the Volcano) to name a few."
Here is Oz' first post. Also, please see my earlier post for links to what Eric Wagner and Peter Quadrino wrote about Pynchon's latest novel.
A Part Three post is planned with "a Deleuzean perspective."
