The inimitable Thomas Pynchon has done it again. Hailed as a major work of art by "The Wall Street Journal," his first novel in almost ten years spans the era between the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893 and the years just after World War I and moves among locations across the globe (and to a few places not strictly speaking on the map at all). With a phantasmagoria of characters and a kaleidoscopic plot, "Against the Day" confronts a world of impending disaster, unrestrained corporate greed, false religiosity, moronic fecklessness, and evil intent in high places and still manages to be hilarious, moving, profound, and so much more.Pynchon, Thomas is the author of 'Against the Day A Novel', published 2007 under ISBN 9780143112563 and ISBN 0143112562.
