Throughout his works, Thomas Pynchon employs a diverse array of animal characters to weave intricate narratives that hold significant importance in postmodernism and ecocriticism. In his book titled Thomas Pynchon's Animal Tales: Fables for Ecocriticism, Keita Hatooka delves into a comprehensive examination of the representation of animals in Pynchon's writings. This exploration encompasses a range of instances, including alligators in the sewer in V.; the alligator purse in Bleeding Edge; dolphins in the Miami Seaquarium in The Crying of Lot 49; dodoes, pigs, and octopuses in Gravity's Rainbow; Bigfoot and Godzilla in Vineland and Inherent Vice; and preternatural dogs and mythical worms in Mason & Dixon and Against the Day. Through this meticulous analysis, Hatooka sheds light on Pynchon's profound and imaginative portrayal of his empathy for nonhuman beings that exist in the liminal spaces between civilization, wilderness, domestication, and the supernatural. Furthermore, by conducting a comparative study of Pynchon's narratives and his contemporary documentarians and thinkers, Thomas Pynchon's Animal Tales serves as a valuable guide for readers, encouraging them to extract profound lessons from the fables that Pynchon presents to ignite our ecocritical thinking for the future.
