Résumé: | Thomas Pynchon's longest novel to date, Against the Day (2006), excited diverse but energetic opinions when it appeared on bookstore shelves nine years after the critically acclaimed Mason & Dixon. Its wide-ranging plot covers more than a decade -- from the 1893 World's Fair to the years just after World War I -- and follows hundreds of characters within its 1085 pages. Pynchon's Against the Day: A Corrupted Pilgrim's Guide offers eleven essays by established luminaries and emerging voices in the field of Pynchon criticism, each addressing a significant aspect of the novel's manifold concerns. |
