20 Th Century Thomas Pynchon
1,322 words
Pynchon and Ginsberg (1) The American literature
is known to have been affected by the stylistic
experimentation, since the last half of 19 th
century. There are many socio-political and purely
artistic reasons that explain it. The most
important of them, in my opinion, is the fact that
Marxist theory used to be very popular among
left-wing intellectuals, prior to the outbreak of
Second World War. After being ideologically
suppressed during fifties, Marxism was able to
reemerge at the beginning ...

expensive to sentence a man to death. Opponents to
the death penalty say that death is actually
revenge rather than justice. The number of
prisoners on death row is increasing. The public
