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.
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.

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...
评分品钦是我最喜欢的作家,读他的内容更多的是类似于一种感觉 在虚幻与真实当时游荡,读过49和虹正在读葡萄园,内容在我看来逐渐虚幻,那种文风以及营造的氛围才是真正的精髓 无论是虹还是49,品钦更喜欢的是一个人或者是一种代表在当下时代的一段奥德赛一样的历险,可真实,可虚...

评分A quester en route, confronted with challenges and trials along the way, finally attains self-knowledge. All these have been done due to a reason which is unaware by the heroine.
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。
评分要一讀再讀,才覺得他好,不是胡來的
