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.
摘自《澳门日报》 作者:黄尔菁 托马斯·品钦(THOMAS PYNCHON)是美国当代一位重要的作家,他有多部著作如《V.》、《拍卖第四十九批》(The Crying of the Lot 49)、《万有引力之虹》等,虽然蜚声文坛,但他选择深居简出,很少在镜头前露面,甚至刻意避开媒体。 《拍卖...
评分1、故事情节的逻辑性不是很强,这是后现代小说的一贯做派。表达的侧重点非故事非情节,主要放在传达细节、感觉、现象、问题、思考之上。 2、小说虽短(12万多字),细节描写却实在到位,言谈之间的细节、环境中的细节、心理活动的细节,愈细就愈显得优雅从容,使小说语言生发...

评分初读品钦还是大学时期。当时听说品钦的《万有引力之虹》是史上最难读的小说,恰好图书馆又有,于是这本808页的书就在我背包放了一个月,虽然现在小说的内容基本上都忘却了,但书的重量却还清楚记得。 808页,故事线索多,人物多还好办,最多做个笔记就可以搞清楚,就...
和着blue velvet一饮而尽
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。
评分第三遍读,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。
评分和着blue velvet一饮而尽
评分瞎涂八涂,也成经典。品钦日后有些惭愧地说,写这书时忘了一切之前学到的东西——看来连品钦自己都没意识到,原来他已进入传说中大师的境界了……
