4.5

Unsurprisingly a banger, even if the last quarter is a little more plodding and melancholic than the remainder… Pynchon’s obsession with paranoia and the disturbances of epochal change is transposed into his most ambitious setting yet in a novel that is anything but predictable in its treatment of his usual esoteric and enlightened themes
