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.
深夜匆匆翻完,不在乎那些繁复长句,不在意情绪,只是拼命翻到最后一页,出现那句标题“拍卖第四十九批”。哦,一点不是我想象的故事,一点不是,我就像女主一样,面对着无法睡着的黑夜,一片过度混乱的信息与过度曝光的空白。 是一个巨大骗局吗,只是拿来愚弄我的?这种想法会...
评分以前应该是没有看过典型后现代主义小说,似乎不该第一本就碰品钦的书。这本书很难读,但绝对爽。尤其对超敏感者强烈推荐,读它具吸毒一样的致幻感。 整体故事就是生活在加洲的女主角,她有巨多房产的前男友死后指定她执行遗嘱,但她赶到海湾地区以后,发现一个神奇的符号到处...

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...
评分对于此书,我只能说勉强读懂,更不敢妄加评论。当然,品钦的才华是毋庸置疑的,虽然这本书篇幅比较段,但依然博大精深,富含哲理,引人深思。摘取一段哈罗德·布鲁姆对《拍卖第四十九批》(收录于译林出版的《如何读,为什么读》一书中)结尾独到透彻的分析。 ‘我也不认为奥迪...
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。
