Thomas Pynchon is said to have admired the novel.[4] His second novel, The Beetle Leg (1951), an intensely surrealistic Western set in a Montana landscape, came to be viewed by many critics as one of the landmark novels of 20th-century American literature. Nabokov's story "Signs and Symbols" was on the reading list for Hawkes' writing students at Brown University.
