Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 (1966), may be read as an implicit exploration of John F. Kennedy's assassination and the investigations of the Warren Commission. By presenting the female protagonist Oedipa Maas as a truth seeker who gradually entangles herself in protoparanoid thinking, the novel discusses the epistemological preconditions of the evidence on which the Warren report is based on. This leads to the question of how the relationship of fact and fiction is filtered through Oedipa's hermeneutics of suspicion.
