Thomas Pynchon writes postmodern fiction about conspiracy, technology, war and people trying to interpret systems too large or strange to understand fully. The Crying of Lot 49 follows Oedipa Maas after she becomes executor of an estate and begins finding signs of a possible underground postal network. Gravity's Rainbow moves across wartime Europe through rockets, intelligence agencies, science, sexuality and a huge cast whose stories repeatedly diverge and reconnect. Mason & Dixon reimagines the eighteenth-century surveyors through historical pastiche and elaborate digression. Pynchon's prose is dense, comic and highly allusive, with songs, technical material and deliberate uncertainty central to the experience. His work fits postmodern fiction, conspiracy literature and experimental historical novels. Read more Less
