Résumé
This article considers rag-picking or the collecting of refuse as a method for the scrutiny of what has been demoted to the status of meaningless detail in Thomas Pynchon’s Bleeding Edge . While the examination of detail is shaped by the process of sorting looked-over yet valuable materials, Pynchon completes his study of waste as a means to achieve a new division of the perceptible, whereby the emergence of an écriture flâneuse recycles and rehabilitates the landfill of words dumped into the novel.
