| Research Abstract |
Though Thomas Pynchon and Kenzaburo Oe are major figures in the world literature after WWII, it is rare to examine how their works are sharing the vision of the eco-conscious future. Critiquing writings of the experimental novelists and works of their contemporaries as well, this project has successfully clarified how their works are using their topological, environmental imagination to get the depth.
