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.

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【藏书阁打卡】据说这本是品钦最好懂的小说,哈罗德•布鲁姆在《西方正典》中,将其与《万有引力之虹》列为品钦最具经典潜质的两部作品,的确比《万有引力之虹》好读,但却不那么好懂,翻过来倒过去我也读了很长时间。小说开始,女主人公奥迪帕意外成为前男友皮尔斯的遗嘱执...
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《澳门日报》 作者:黄尔菁 托马斯·品钦(THOMAS PYNCHON)是美国当代一位重要的作家,他有多部著作如《V.》、《拍卖第四十九批》(The Crying of the Lot 49)、《万有引力之虹》等,虽然蜚声文坛,但他选择深居简出,很少在镜头前露面,甚至刻意避开媒体。 《拍卖...

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.
finally finished reading this confusing book which created great frustration, but the magic thing is after the stream of frustration there came a kind of appreciation. i liked it!!
评分为自己在装逼文学青年时代不曾接触过品钦而懊悔。没见过文字玩的这么炫的。
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。
评分神神叨叨
评分第三遍读,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。
