Abstract:My study tracks down a cluster of key metaphors of urban reading which also function as figures of memory in Thomas Pynchon’s novel the Crying of Lot 49. It also follows the early European memory as reenacted in different ways in the postmodern metropolis of Los Angeles and interpreted by Pynchon’s inquisitive characters (some of them writers, directors and actors).
Key words:Thomas Pynchon, flâneur, postmodern metropolis, The Crying of Lot 49
