Abstract (english)
The aim of this paper is to provide insight into one of the most prominent topics in postmodern literature through the works of Thomas Pynchon, focusing on his famous short story “Entropy” (1960) and his second novel The Crying of Lot 49 (1965). The issue of consumerism and media-saturated society is the primary concern of postmodern theory and it has been tackled by many authors in the last few decades. However, different authors provide different perspectives and Thomas Pynchon is known to be both innovative and unique in that respect. The concept of entropy, which was introduced in his early short story of the same name, develops further in his later novels, serving both as the connection between the theory of thermodynamics and information theory and as a metaphor for the chaos which never stops increasing in the postmodern consumer society. Analyzing The Crying of Lot 49 in comparison to the ideas previously introduced in “Entropy”, while referring to the postmodern theory is a new way to present the problem of consumerism and its influence on the lives of individuals in contemporary society.
