TY - JOUR AB - This sober exchange between the two title characters marks the beginning of Austrian Leopold Maurer’s new graphic novel, <em>Miller &amp; Pynchon</em>. The two characters are measuring the world, like the characters in another recent Germanic work, Daniel Kehlmann’s wonderful novel <em>Measuring the World </em>(2005, English translation 2006), a story of the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss and the explorer Alexander von Humboldt. Through a fictionalized account of their travails in the early nineteenth century, Kehlmann’s bestseller tells the story of how during the Enlightenment scientific rationality conquered the world and changed it forever.
