Thomas Pynchon, an Amazing Tailor

Jurica Novaković ; The Academy of Arts, Osijek, Croatia

Abstract

Although some primitive human being would probably recoil from characters dressed “à la Pynchon” such as Ruperta in a narrow black bengaline costume with a Medici collar and cuffs of bastard chinchilla or jazz musician Chester LeStreet in a luminous grey worsted suit, shirt and display handkerchief in the same vivid shade of fuchsia, ice-cream-coloured Homburg hat, hand-painted necktie and dark sunglasses with tortoise-shell frames, contemporary readers familiar with cultural achievements can enjoy the delights offered by the amazing tailoring skills of Thomas Pynchon.
