One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels
“The comedy crackles, the puns pop, the satire explodes.”—New York Times
Thomas Pynchon’s highly original, postmodernist classic, a satire of American life about a woman who finds herself enmeshed in a seeming international conspiracy.
When her ex-lover, wealthy real-estate tycoon Pierce Inverarity, dies and designates her the coexecutor of his estate, California housewife Oedipa Maas is thrust into a paranoid mystery of metaphors, symbols, and the United States Postal Service. Traveling across Southern California, she meets some extremely interesting characters—including a teenage rock band called the Paranoids, a right-wing historian and critic of the postal system, and a former child actor with whom she has an affair—and begins to unravel conspiracies she suddenly sees all around her.
Written in 1966, The Crying of Lot 49 demonstrates the piquant wit and power of invention that are the hallmarks of Pynchon’s acclaimed works. It is the shortest of his novels, and widely held to be the benchmark of this literary lion’s career.
