Radical Hope in the Novels of Thomas Pynchon: The Moon and Meteor delves into the author's career, exploring how the subversion of his early works feeds into the radical optimism of his later works. The book's first half examines the author's use of the moon as a romanticized ideal that is irreparably corrupted by and manipulatively influenced by worldly power. The second half takes up the meteor as an image of impending violence that has yet to be fully realized, finding in the unlikely possibility of that violence being somehow averted, a reckless sort of hope. This foolhardy but nonetheless genuine hope to escape from violent, oppressive structures and forge a real ethical obligation to others marks the development of these paired metaphors, and through them, Pynchon introduces the possibility, however slight, that literature, with its powerfully intimate relationship with consciousness, may at least sustain that hope.
