A propos de cet article

First edition of Pynchonâ s classic post-modern satire, which tells the wonderfully unusual story of Oedipa Maas. Octavo, original half cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Milton Charles. An exceptional example. â The Crying of Lot 49 is a haunting sequence of imagined human situations, typical and pathetic ones, fused with the particularized power that shows Pynchonâ s own obsession with the encoded messages of the American landscape. What is also noticeableâ ¦ is that the major character is really Pynchon himself, Pynchonâ s voice with its capacity to move from the elegy to the epic catalogue. The narrator sounds like a survivor looking through the massed wreckage of his civilization, â a salad of despair.â That image, to suggest but one of the puns in the word Tristero, is typically full of sadness, terror, love, and flamboyance. But then, how else should one imagine a tryst with America? And that is what this novel isâ (New York Times).
