520 |a Søren Kierkegaard's writings influenced several American novelists of the 1950s, including (despite the dearth of critical literature on the connection) Thomas Pynchon. Kierkegaard's view of the relationship between aesthetics and ethics, and comedy's capacity to mediate between them, is at the heart of how The Crying of Lot 49 approaches the problem of human communication. It is most directly evident, however, in the novel's symbolic use of the post horn. This article argues that the novel's post horns repeat Kierkegaard's post horn in Repetition, thereby proposing the theological source behind Pynchon's ironic rendering of secular experience.
