Mr. Pynchon's satirical eye doesn't miss a thing, including rock n' roll singers right wing extremists, and the general subculture of Southern California., The work of a virtuoso with prose. . . . His intricate symbolic order is akin to that of Joyce's Ulysses., "A puzzle, an intrigue, a literary and historical tour de force with a strongly European flavor." -- San Francisco Examiner "The comedy crackles, the puns pop, the satire explodes." -- New York Times "Mr. Pynchon's satirical eye doesn't miss a thing, including rock n' roll singers right wing extremists, and the general subculture of Southern California." -- Library Journal "[A] spectacular tale. . . .
