Thomas Ruggles Pynchon, Jr. is an American writer based in New York City, noted for his dense and complex works of fiction. Hailing from Long Island, Pynchon spent two years in the United States Navy and earned an English degree from Cornell University. After publishing several short stories in the late 1950s and early 1960s, he began composing the novels for which he is best known today: V. (1963), The Crying of Lot 49 (1966), Gravity's Rainbow (1973), Vineland (1990), Mason & Dixon (1997), and Against the Day (2006).
Pynchon is regarded by many readers and critics as one of the finest contemporary authors. He is a MacArthur Fellow and a recipient of the National Book Award, and is regularly cited as a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Both his fiction and non-fiction writings encompass a vast array of subject matter, styles, and themes, including (but not limited to) the fields of history, science and mathematics. Pynchon is also known for his avoidance of personal publicity: very few photographs of him have ever been published, and rumours about his location and identity have been circulated since the 1960's.
Suffused with rich satire, chaotic brilliance, verbal turbulence and wild humor, The Crying of Lot 49 opens as Oedipa Maas discovers that she has been made executrix of a former lover's estate. The performance of her duties sets her on a strange trail of detection, in which bizarre characters crowd in to help or confuse her. But gradually, death, drugs, madness and marriage combine to leave Oedipa in isolation on the threshold of revelation, awaiting the Crying of Lot 49.

评分这是第二次尝试品钦,家里还躺着一本中学时买了没能读完的灰色的一本《葡萄园》。 觉得很遗憾,即使是第二次接触品钦,还是入门级的拍卖,我都不能很好地抓住和理解。阅读体验很有意思,是一种随时随地容易涣散失神,但又难免会被拉回来反复琢磨的过程,本质是折磨人的,但竟然...
评分摘自《时代文学》 作者:熊艳艳 《拍卖第四十九批》是美国当代著名的后现代主义小说家托马斯•品钦(Thomas Pynchon, 1937— ) 于1966年发表的作品,与品钦的其他作品一样,这部小说也充分体现了品钦将自然科学和社会科学等方面的知识用于文学创作的特点,从而使他的小...

评分熵不是什么新鲜的东西,戏拟戏仿也不是,以作品完结后的静止状态来剖析小说叙事技巧,是妄图占据小说同等智力制高点的评论家们不得已的办法------你不可能加入到小说创作的进程当中。所以能读到很多标识为实验或后现代的小说(据说欧洲人不认同后现代小说这个说法),评论指涉...
A quester en route, confronted with challenges and trials along the way, finally attains self-knowledge. All these have been done due to a reason which is unaware by the heroine.
评分在晦涩,艰深语言的折磨下,终于算把这本书磕磕绊绊地看完了.据说 Harold Bloom 曾经给予Pynchon 的作品高度评价并认为他是在世作家中作品最可能成为西方经典的一个.但又听说这本难读的 the crying of lot 49 还是他所有作品中最简单易懂的.这实在让我对接触他的其他作品产生了相当大的畏惧情绪.
评分#秃子书单完成计划# 3
评分较混乱的主题,但品钦用不耐烦的韧性改变了易坠落的结尾。
