All of Thomas Pynchon’s fictions refer in some sense or in passing to warfare or warlike conditions: the French and Indian wars in Mason & Dixon (1997), the colonial pacification campaigns of V. (1963), and World War II in Gravity’s Rainbow (1973) and The Crying of Lot 49 (1966); the industrial wars of Against the Day (2006) and the war on drugs in Vineland (1990); the abductions and shoot-outs of Inherent Vice (2009); and the blend of covert action and cyber-warfare that haunts Bleeding Edge (2013).
