Abstract

The object of this short article is the problem of paranoia in the book of Pynchon, understood not as a mental disorder, but as a vision "systematic" reality, where the plots are embedded in even larger plots, which, in turn, are inserted in further set of its four parts. It's what you might call "connection style" in which everything is connected, which the model, as we shall see, it is the paranoia.
