    Sammanfattning : The investigation studies Thomas Pynchon’s givenness in terms of three strata of manifestation: the arty, the rhizomatic, and the acosmic.Utilizing a new affective turn implemented within the phenomenological movement by Michel Henry, the study proposes that alongside a rhizomatic mode of accessibility promoting transcendence, investigates the manifestation of this ontological withholding by carrying out the phenomenological reduction established by Edmund Husserl, and by elucidating the phenomenon of immanence in the literary text by means of a theory of auto-affection rooted in—but not reducible to—such methodological reduction.
