Luc Herman and John M. Krafft develop and deploy a rich theory of genetic narratology to examine the performance of genre in the novel. Pushing back against the current dominance of cognitive narratology, they discuss focalization, character construction, and evocation of consciousness as clues to Pynchon's developing narratology of historical fiction. Their theoretical interventions offer an important and timely corrective to the field of narratology with a method that brings the author back into the analytical frame. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHerman and Krafft use as their guide the typescript of \u003ci\u003eV.\u003c\/i\u003e that surfaced in 2001, when it was acquired by the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, as well as Pynchon's editorial correspondence with Corlies Smith, his first editor at J. B.
