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...

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……
