The Crying of Lot 49

Chaotic satire reveals America's esoteric postmodern underbelly.

If you delight in unraveling dense, enigmatic narratives sprinkled with dark humor, "The Crying of Lot 49" might just tickle your fancy. Pynchon's compact masterpiece offers a wild ride through a surreal plot, brimming with peculiar characters and conspiracy themes. It's a small but potent dose of his signature storytelling that leaves you pondering long after the last page.

Description

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.
