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.

摘自《時代文學》作者:熊艷艷 《拍賣第四十九批》是美國當代著名的後現代主義小說傢托馬斯•品欽(Thomas Pynchon, 1937— )於1966年發錶的作品,與品欽的其他作品一樣,這部小說也充分體現瞭品欽將自然科學和社會科學等方麵的知識用於文學創作的特點,從而使他的小說充...
評分熵不是什麼新鮮的東西,戲擬戲仿也不是,以作品完結後的靜止狀態來剖析小說敘事技巧,是妄圖占據小說同等智力製高點的評論傢們不得已的辦法------你不可能加入到小說創作的進程當中。所以能讀到很多標識為實驗或後現代的小說(據說歐洲人不認同後現代小說這個說法),評論指涉...
評分品欽是我最喜歡的作傢,讀他的內容更多的是類似於一種感覺 在虛幻與真實當時遊蕩,讀過49和虹正在讀葡萄園,內容在我看來逐漸虛幻,那種文風以及營造的氛圍纔是真正的精髓 無論是虹還是49,品欽更喜歡的是一個人或者是一種代錶在當下時代的一段奧德賽一樣的曆險,可真實,可虛...
評分初讀品欽還是大學時期。當時聽說品欽的《萬有引力之虹》是史上最難讀的小說,恰好圖書館又有,於是這本808頁的書就在我背包放瞭一個月,雖然現在小說的內容基本上都忘卻瞭,但書的重量卻還清楚記得。 808頁,故事綫索多,人物多還好辦,最多做個筆記就可以搞清楚,就...

Thomas Pynchon比較短的一本書,很容易讀但是不太容易懂,敘事形式讓我想起Philip K Dick,當然內容更現實一些,即使有片斷迷幻也是精神上的錯覺,總結一下,人生就是一場巨大的陰謀。

評分DISORDER!!!! KNOW MORE, GET CONFUSED MORE!
評分第三遍讀,終於讀齣瞭那種飛揚而炫目的纔華,和與這纔華相匹配的主題的深度。比起來,他的諸多後輩,雖然同樣纔華橫溢,但文本的密度都大大稀釋瞭。配著迷噪聽肯定很搭。再讀的時候一定要。
評分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.
