A Tears-Based Epistemology in The Crying of Lot 49
My Novel Lionel Lancet and the Right Vibe is out now. https://bit.ly/3g7H3JM Tiktok and IG: Danielbackerauthor Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3iQpfoh If you enjoy this video, please share it with a friend. In this video, I talk about how Oedipa Maas, the protagonist of The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon, exists in a way that cannot be known through traditional means. Confronting various signs and symbols, which may or may not mean anything, Oedipa's journey becomes more a deconstruction of the traditional modes of interpretation than a story with clear answers. By relying on her intuition and "female cunning" (pg 12), Oedipa creates a new mode for construction meaning, a tears-based epistemology, which I unpack in the video.
