Signs and Symptoms: Thomas Pynchon and the Contemporary World

America has produced two important groups of post-war novelists, the 'neo-realists', who inherit the traditions of realism and naturalism, and the 'counter-realists', who consciously react against those traditions. Thomas Pynchon has a net affinity for the latter kind of fiction, yet, as Peter Cooper shows, he is unique among the counter-realists. Cooper examines Pynchon's novels first against the backdrop of contemporary fiction. While sharing the general interest of the counter-realists in labyrinthine plots, intricate fantasies, and self-made realities, Pynchon differs from them in his great concern about political and sociological problems. Cooper then explores Pynchon's view of the modern world, both its apparent ills and available remedies. Contending that Pynchon criticism has focused too narrowly on the author's treatment of the problems of the modern world rather than the possibilities it offers, Cooper aligns himself with a more recent and persuasive trend in Pynchon studies that stresses the author's ambivalence--his despair countered by hope. This ambivalence is present in all forms of Pynchon's thought and expression. Pynchon's authorial practices, especially his prose style, have received surprisingly little attention. ...Pynchon's commentators typically neglect his craft in favor of his themes and materials. ...Cooper examines the author's literary methods, from the structure of sentences to the structure of whole books.

In his preface, the author reminds the reader that this is not a book for the absolute beginner. Even the experienced player may not get it on first reading a given tune, but You can expect to enjoy the process of learning... [and experience] the joy of recreating a traditional tune, of making it your own. This is the teacher/ student pact in effect throughout this marvelous book, written for the literary as much as the musical connoisseur. Although no classical violin experience is needed, you will need to know how to hold the fiddle and bow, and be able to play at least simple tunes in the first position. Having the ability to read music will enable you to follow the bowing patterns and left-hand techniques which the author feels are crucial in grasping the playing style.

Bob Dylan bucked executives at his record label and surprised his fans when he came to Nashville in 1966 to record his classic album Blonde on Blonde. Working with the city's unmatched session musicians, Dylan produced a rock &amp; roll masterpiece and went on to record two more albums there. Dylan's embrace of Nashville and its musicians – the Nashville Cats – inspired many other artists, among them Neil Young, Joan Baez, and Leonard Cohen, to follow him to Music City. Around the same time, Johnny Cash was recruiting folk and rock musicians – including Dylan – to appear on his groundbreaking network television show, The Johnny Cash Show, shot at the Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry. This companion book to the exhibit Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City looks at the Nashville music scene in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a time of great cultural vitality for Music City.
