New York, New York, U.S.A.: The Penguin Press, 2006. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Spanning the period between the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and the years just after World War I, this novel moves from the labor troubles in Colorado to turn-of-the-century New York, to London and Gottingen, Venice and Vienna, the Balkans, Central Asia, Siberia at the time of the mysterious Tunguska Event, Mexico during the Revolution, postwar Paris, silent-era Hollywood, and one or two places not strictly speaking on the map at all. With a worldwide disaster looming just a few years ahead, it is a time of unrestrained corporate greed, false religiosity, moronic fecklessness, and evil intent in high places. No reference to the present day is intended or should be inferred. The sizable cast of characters includes anarchists, balloonists, gamblers, corporate tycoons, drug enthusiasts, innocents and decadents, mathematicians, mad scientists, shamans, psychics, and stage magicians, spies, detectives, adventuresses, and hired guns. There are cameo appearances by Nikola Tesla, Bela Lugosi, and Groucho Marx. As an era of certainty comes crashing down around their ears and an unpredictable future commences, these folks are mostly just trying to pursue their lives. Sometimes they manage to catch up; sometimes it's their lives that pursue them. Meanwhile, the author is up to his usual business. Characters stop what they're doing to sing what are for the most part stupid songs. Strange sexual practices take place. Obscure languages are spoken, not always idiomatically. Contrary-to-the-fact occurrences occur. If it is not the world, it is what the world might be with a minor adjustment or two. According to some, this is one of the main purposes of fiction. Let the reader decide, let the reader beware. Good luck." (Thomas Pynchon) 1085 pp. As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in as new, mylar-protected dust cover. *Oversize volume packed carefully and shipped in a box to insure arrival in described condition.

Description:
New York: Viking Penguin. The award-winning Pynchon's seventh book spans most of three decades from the 1893 World's Fair in Chicango to just after World War I; the action moves from Colorado to New York to London, Venice, Vienna, Central Asia, Siberia, Mexico, Hollywood and a few places not on any map; its characters include anarchists, balloonists, gamblers, tycoons, innocents and decadents, shamans and scientists, spies, detectives and hired guns with cameo appearances by Bela Lugosi and Groucho Marx. It's all Pynchon as usual -- trying to show us the world not necessarily as it is but as it just might be. Lower corner of front cover slightly bumped, o/w boards and text are clean, tight, square; dustjacket shows small crease on back flap o/w very minimal surface and edgewear. At 1,085 pages, this is a heavy book that may require additional postage. . Near Fine. Hardcover. First Edition, First Printing.. 2006.
