Abstract

Since the Eighties, California has been endlessly scrutinized, exploited, discussed, and taken as a paradigm of the postmodern condition by a number of influential scholars such as Fredric Jameson, Edward Soja, Mike Davis, Jean Baudrillard. The reader of “From Faraway California” will find in the following pages a comprehensive chart of their ideas and theories related to the topic. The book deals with Pynchon’s California by employing a wide interdisciplinary approach that tackles the “real-and-imagined” space of the region, taking its cue from Soja’s theory of “Thirdspace” as well as from the fields of urban studies, geocriticism, and environmental studies.
