A review by dylanberman
The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

3.75

This book got me into Pynchon. From what I hear and from reading Inherent Vice, some of his other works are more refined. That being said this book is so strange, enthralling, and hilarious. The way Pynchon draws out this to be or not to be conspiracy makes the world feel full of secretive power and meaning in places most would never look.
