Abstract
Joseph Tabbi, who has a chapter of his own in the volume, Pynchon in Context (Cambridge 2018), corrects two citational errors in this same volume. Both mischaracterize, by reading out of context a sentence in Tabbi's 1995 monograph, Postmodern Sublime (Cornell University Press). Because Tabbi's arguments are thought (wrongly) to support an "old argument" in Pynchon criticism, Tabbi brings this misreading to the attention of contemporary literature scholars, before the wrong impression becomes general knowledge.
Joseph Tabbi在《Pynchon in Context》(剑桥2018)一书中有自己的一章,他纠正了同一卷中的两个引用错误。两人都断章取义地阅读了塔比1995年专著《后现代崇高》(康奈尔大学出版社)中的一句话,从而曲解了这句话。由于塔比的论点被认为(错误地)支持品钦批评中的“旧论点”,塔比在错误印象成为常识之前,就引起了当代文学学者的注意。
