Inherent Vice, sklepni roman kalifornijske trilogije Thomasa Pynchona, izkazuje nenavadno alegorično strukturiranje Kalifornije in Amerike nasploh skozi opise z zgodovinskimi referencami. Članek dokazuje, da ti opisi tvorijo sistem, ki odraža sodobne moralne in politične skrbi postpostmodernega romanopisja v neposrednem kontekstu izdaje romana. Poleg tega roman vključuje Pynchonov »stilistični, zastareli postmodernizem«, da bi načel močno svarilno zgodbo, pri čemer se hkrati opira na genetične kode žanra noir in jih obenem rekonfigurira.Literatura
