This surreal take on southern Californian subculture follows the
fortunes of heiress Oedipa Maas. Her quest to find the truth about
her inheritance, and to discover what motivated her deceased lover,
sets her on a trail of vague clues which leads her into a web of
international conspiracy. With his usual satire and wit, Pynchon
depicts a kind of apocalypse which only he could imagine. Following
on from V, this is a highly original book packed with sharply drawn
characters. A 20th-century classic. (Kirkus UK)
