The structure of the novel The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

While the narrative structure of the novel is in the third person, the overall structure is what is known as a schizo-text, a text that “presents a disjunctive synthesis of diverse and incompatible views. It can do this, finally, because of its underlying coherence as a specific regime of signs, or a structure not dependent upon any particular point of view, but on the endless proliferation of signs calling for endlessly repeatable acts of interpretation.”
