Synopsis
Oedipa Maas is made the executor of the estate of her late boyfriend Pierce Inverarity--including his enormous stamp collection. As she carries out her duties, Oedipa meets some extremely interesting characters and is enmeshed in what appears to be a worldwide conspiracy. Considered to be one of Thomas Pynchon's more "accessible" works, THE CRYING OF LOT 49 is nevertheless full of his perennial trademarks: puns and other language play (e.g. characters named Manny DiPresso and Genghis Cohen), the possible evils of science and its accompanying rationality, and the chaotic state of modern culture.

Publisher's Note
"The comedy crackles, the puns pop, the satire explodes" praised the New York Times, and the Chicago Tribune agreed: "The work of a virtuoso with prose. . . . His intricate symbolic order [is] akin to that of Joyce's Ulysses."

Industry Reviews
"Thomas Pynchon's second novel, 'The Crying of Lot 49', reads like an episode withheld from his first, the much-acclaimed 'V.', published three years ago. Pynchon's technical virtuosity, his adaptations of the apocalyptic-satiric modes of Melville, Conrad, and Joyce, of Faulkner, Nathanael West, and Nabokov, the saturnalian inventiveness he shares with contemporaries like John Barth and Joseph Heller, his security with philosophical and psychological concepts, his anthropological intimacy with the off-beat--these evidences of extraordinary talent in the first novel continue to display themselves in the second. And the uses to which he puts them are very much the same."
New York Times Book Review - Richard Poirier (05/01/1966)
