Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels"The comedy crackles, the puns pop, the satire explodes."--New York TimesThomas Pynchon's highly original, postmodernist classic, a satire of American life about a woman who finds herself enmeshed in a seeming international conspiracy.When her ex-lover, wealthy real-estate tycoon Pierce Inverarity, dies and designates her the coexecutor of his estate, California housewife Oedipa Maas is thrust into a paranoid mystery of metaphors, symbols, and the United States Postal Service. Traveling across Southern California, she meets some extremely interesting characters--including a teenage rock band called the Paranoids, a right-wing historian and critic of the postal system, and a former child actor with whom she has an affair--and begins to unravel conspiracies she suddenly sees all around her.Written in 1966, The Crying of Lot 49 demonstrates the piquant wit and power of invention that are the hallmarks of Pynchon's acclaimed works. It is the shortest of his novels, and widely held to be the benchmark of this literary lion's career.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 165 pages. Published in 2023. New Commemorative Edition of the author's classic, first released in early-2023. One of the greatest novels of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Facsimile Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent printings, of which there are very many. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out upon publication. The First Edition Thus is now rare. The production values are exemplary in every respect, replicating the 1966 First Edition down to the most minute detail. Using superior pristine-white, archival stock paper - which the original did NOT -, the book will last for 1000 years, and should probably be acquired even by those who have the true first. Re-presents, in a lovely Facsimile Edition format, Thomas Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49". His masterpiece: A Surrealist-inspired, at first delectable, and finally despairing satire of America. First published in 1966, its prescience - and nihilism - about contemporary America is downright scary. While all great novels are written retrospectively, about The Past, perhaps such is their greatness that they, in fact, also reveal The Present, as no social scientist can, and predict The Future, as no prophet can, either. That we now live fully in the Age of Conspiracies was foreseen by Thomas Pynchon more than sixty years ago. "California housewife Oedipa Maas is thrust into a paranoid mystery of metaphors, symbols, and the United States Postal Service. Traveling across Southern California, she meets some extremely interesting characters - a teenage rock band called The Paranoids, a right-wing historian and critic of the postal system, and a former child actor with whom she has an affair, and begins to unravel conspiracies she suddenly sees all around her. Demonstrates the piquant wit and power of invention that are the hallmarks of Pynchon's acclaimed works" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Thomas Pynchon collectors. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition Thus/First Printing (2023, full number line on the Copyright Page) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: ALL other copies available online are in multiple subsequent printings even if their dealers don't say so. Copies of the 1966 First Edition available online command many hundreds to thousands of dollars, rightly so. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Hailed by Harold Bloom as the greatest, not just one of the best, of Thomas Pynchon's novels, surpassing in his estimation critical favorites, particularly "Gravity's Rainbow". One of the greatest writers of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0063289520. no.…
