Where to find Pynchon on the Internet

                                 File:MutedPosthorn.png
You will need to get your hands on Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 very soon. Here are two places to do so if you haven't already:
  1. Powells.com
  2. Amazon.com 
Please let me know if you have any trouble getting a copy of the book. I'm happy to help however I can.

As you begin to make your way through Pynchon's postmodern novel, you might need some guidance. We'll certainly do some of this during class, but here are a couple other resources available to you.

The Pynchon Wiki -- This is kind of an insanely helpful guide to the novel. It provides spoiler-free, page-by-page annotations for those of you who don't get all of Pynchon's references (which, by the way, is all of us).

"Embattled Underground" -- This is the original 1966 review of the book, as it appeared in The New York Times.
