Om författaren

Thomas Pynchon was born in Glen Cove, New York on May 8, 1937. In 1959 he graduated with a B.A. in English from Cornell, where he had taken Vladimir Nabokov's famous course in modern literature after studying engineering physics and serving in the U.S. Navy for two years. He worked as a technical visa mer writer at Boeing for two and a half years. Pynchon won the Faulkner First Novel Award for V. in 1963, and in The Crying of Lot 49 (1966), again his symbolism and commentary on the United States and human isolation have been praised as intricate and masterly, though some reviewers found it to be maddeningly dense. With this book Pynchon won the Rosenthal Foundation Award. Gravity's Rainbow, winner of the National Book Award for Fiction in 1974, is in part a fictional elegy and meditation on death and an encyclopedic work that jumps through time. Pynchon has also written numerous essays, reviews, and introductions, plus the fictional works Slow Learner, Vineland, Mason & Dixon, Against the Day, and Inherent Vice. His title Bleeding Edge made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2013. He is famous for his reclusive nature, although he has made several animated appearances on The Simpsons television series.

Bleeding Edge av Thomas Pynchon

Alldeles, alldeles underbar. Samtidigt helt jävla hopplös att få grepp om. En av de märkligaste och mäktigaste läsupplevelserna på samma gång. Sci-Fi, Thriller & Sex in the City kört i en blender.

Buden på nummer 49 av Thomas Pynchon

Vill verkligen gilla den här, verkligen. Men erkänner att jag hade oerhört svårt att följa med i handlingen och framförallt huvudkaraktärens alla förehavanden. Bitvis är det briljant och man tappar all uppfattning om tid och rum, sedan bara försvinner det ut i något helt obegripligt. Något slags hemlig postsystem handlar det förmodligen om iaf. Detta är min första Pynchon och jag ger inte upp även om detta blir ett dåligt betyg.

The Crying of Lot 49 av Thomas Pynchon

"The Crying of Lot 49 is a novella by Thomas Pynchon, first published in 1966. The shortest of Pynchon's novels, it is about a woman, Oedipa Maas, possibly unearthing the centuries-old conflict between two mail distribution companies, Thurn und Taxis and the Trystero (or Tristero). The former actually existed and was the first firm to distribute postal mail; the latter is Pynchon's invention. The novel is often classified as a notable example of postmodern fiction. Time included the novel in its "TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005". " (Wikipedia)… (mer)
