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【藏书阁打卡】据说这本是品钦最好懂的小说,哈罗德•布鲁姆在《西方正典》中,将其与《万有引力之虹》列为品钦最具经典潜质的两部作品,的确比《万有引力之虹》好读,但却不那么好懂,翻过来倒过去我也读了很长时间。小说开始,女主人公奥迪帕意外成为前男友皮尔斯的遗嘱执...

第三遍读,终于读出了那种飞扬而炫目的才华,和与这才华相匹配的主题的深度。比起来,他的诸多后辈,虽然同样才华横溢,但文本的密度都大大稀释了。配着迷噪听肯定很搭。再读的时候一定要。
评分为自己在装逼文学青年时代不曾接触过品钦而懊悔。没见过文字玩的这么炫的。
评分It's difficult to find truth in a postmodern world, but that's not the reason for us to stop questing. :)
评分You get endless delightful snapshots that can stand on their own as short stories
评分书里oedipa在阴谋和妄想中追寻真相,书外我们在词语和文本里繁殖意义。
