Zusammenfassung
While numerous works have been written on Thomas Pynchon’s style in terms of language and genre, there is none that addresses style in the sense of ‘fashion,’ and this is the gap this essay seeks to fill. In Pynchon’s novels, clothes are usually not part of characterization, yet when they are mentioned, they are often used to signify an association with a particular counterculture, and there is even the notion of the “subversive garment” in Pynchon that forces both the beholder and the wearer to fundamentally question reality itself. I thus argue that clothing in Pynchon’s novels in particularly significant instances subverts the ‘reality effect’ that is produced by references to clothing especially in realist or modernist fiction, while at the same time retaining its (now dubious) function of characterization.
