Dahlia’s Journey: Misplaced Affection and Visual Arts in Thomas Pynchon’s Against the Day
2024
Overview
Among the many characters of the labyrinthine saga Against the Day (2006), this paper focuses on Dahlia Rideout. Her foster father is a photographer, her mother elopes with a magician, her childhood friend is a ball lightning. While in Venice, she becomes the muse of radical artists, and on the London stage Dahlia is quite a sensation. The thing that binds together her iconic status and her misfortunes throughout the books is light – that is, electromagnetic radiation, as scientists describe it, but also limelight, the aura of celebrity she shares with other female characters in Thomas Pynchon’s fiction.
