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.
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.
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...
评分原创地址:http://www.qh505.com/blog/post/1581.html 这些日子里无论她朝何处看,巧合是处处开花,她别无所有,只有一个声音一个词,即“特里斯特罗”,把它们集合在一起。 ——《拍卖第四十九批·第五章》 日子是“厚厚一副纸牌那么多的日子”,开出来的...
评分深夜匆匆翻完,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...
神神叨叨
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……
评分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.
评分It's difficult to find truth in a postmodern world, but that's not the reason for us to stop questing. :)
