Description
A hugely ambitious epic about America and the Age of Reason and the origins of modernity that showcases all of Mr Pynchon’s gifts as a writer: his magical ability to fuse history and fable, science and science fiction; his Swiftean grasp of satire and his vaudevillian’s sense of farce. It is a book that testifies to his remarkable powers of invention and his sheer power as a storyteller … as moving as it is cerebral, as poignant as it is daring (New York Times)
