"Against the Grain: Reading Pynchon's Counternarratives"
International Pynchon Week 2008
June 11-14
Amerika Haus
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität
Munich, Germany

What better place to discuss Pynchon's new novel Against the Day (and all 
his other texts)
than in the Zone? In 2008, the biannual Pynchon conference takes place at 
the Amerika Haus
in Munich, Germany, just as Mondaugen's city celebrates its 850th birthday 
(and Europe
goes soccer-crazy during the European Cup). The American Studies department 
of the
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität invites scholars and students, amateurs and 
novices, fans
and critics to get together for this four-day event. While a good share of 
the conference
is to be dedicated to Against the Day, it is of course open to all things 
Pynchon. A
special invitation goes out to scholars from disciplines other than literary 
studies.

There is no participation fee. The full program and details about the 
location and
accommodation are available at the official conference website:

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
