Di gran lunga il più breve dei grandi e abbaglianti romanzi di Pynchon, e uno dei migliori. Intriso di ricca satira, brillantezza caotica, turbolenza verbale e umorismo selvaggio, The Crying of Lot 49 si apre con Oedipa Maas che scopre di essere stata nominata esecutrice testamentaria del patrimonio di un ex amante. L'esecuzione dei suoi doveri la mette su una strana pista di indagine, in cui personaggi bizzarri si affollano per aiutarla o confonderla. Ma gradualmente, morte, droga, follia e matrimonio si combinano per lasciare Oepida in isolamento sulla soglia della rivelazione, in attesa di The Crying of Lot 49. 'Progettato come un razzo' Ned Beauman, Independent 'Il miglior libro con cui iniziare' Guardian.
