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.

评分拍卖第49批 The Crying of Lot 49 上海译文 1989 林疑今 Thomas Pynchon的这本小说,令我看完了油然而生拿它作毕业论文的冲动,象征主义,黑色幽默,百科全书式的写法,还有无处不在的物理学的幽灵,从美国的地下邮政系统到古典戏剧再到麦克斯韦的妖精,热力学第二定律在每...

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,从而使他的小说充...
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...
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。
评分看过又已忘记了......
评分Thomas Pynchon比较短的一本书,很容易读但是不太容易懂,叙事形式让我想起Philip K Dick,当然内容更现实一些,即使有片断迷幻也是精神上的错觉,总结一下,人生就是一场巨大的阴谋。
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……
评分和着blue velvet一饮而尽
