Pynchon Bibliography
Thomas Pynchon: Annotated Bibliography

The authors of this article suggest that the heroine of the novel is undergoing a learning experience, and that the novel's sudden ending without revealing whether the Trystero conspiracy is real or imaginary is actually a way of demonstrating the heroine's personal growth. Kolodny and Peters argue that the function of the conspiracy in the book is to help the heroine realize that she is alienated from American life in the 1960s, and as a result the sense of waiting for a religious experience at the end of the book is a positive thing: Oedipa has finally understood herself through this process. In other words, the novel's ambiguous ending is actually a "subversive experience" for the reader, and this subversion is a good thing for Pynchon's readers as well as for the novel's heroine.

Mendelson finds a pattern of symbolism in which the number in the book's title alludes to the Christian feast of Pentecost, which falls 49 days after Easter. Pentecost is associated with the visitation of the Holy Spirit, and Mendelson sees the novel's heroine waiting for a religious revelation at the end of the book. Mendelson focuses on the book's indeterminate ending, in which the reader does not learn if the conspiracy of the Trystero is real or not: instead, he demonstrates that its description in the novel is always in terms of a religious experience, or mental illness (paranoia). Mendelson also notes how the…
