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《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...
评分从开始阅读到完成这本薄薄的小书(一百四十余页,14万字),两天整。可以说,这两天的阅读再次刷新了我对于小说的认识。上一次给与我这样冲击的作品是加西亚·马尔克斯的《百年孤独》。《百年孤独》的冲击在于魔幻现实主义,亦即一种现实背景下不可思议事件带来的荒诞...

评分看过又已忘记了......
评分在晦涩,艰深语言的折磨下,终于算把这本书磕磕绊绊地看完了.据说 Harold Bloom 曾经给予Pynchon 的作品高度评价并认为他是在世作家中作品最可能成为西方经典的一个.但又听说这本难读的 the crying of lot 49 还是他所有作品中最简单易懂的.这实在让我对接触他的其他作品产生了相当大的畏惧情绪.
