    Summary note
    "Through examining case studies of animal representation in Thomas Pynchon's works, Hatooka illuminates how radically and imaginatively the legendary novelist depicts his empathy for nonhuman beings and conducts conducting a comparative study of Pynchon's narratives and his contemporary documentarians and thinkers"-- Provided by publisher.
