Die Hausfrau Oedipa Maas wird zur Testamentsvollstreckerin ihres ehemaligen Liebhabers bestimmt, des Immobilienspekulanten Pierce Inverarity. Sie macht sich auf den Weg durch Kalifornien und versucht herauszufinden, wer Pierce Inverarity war, wer sie selbst und was Amerika ist, und lernt dabei eine andere Welt als ihre bisherige kennen, die völlig anderen Regeln folgt. Umgeben von Ausgeflippten, Isolierten und Verstörten, die von der Welt ausgeschieden worden sind wie Abfall, scheint Oedipa einer jahrhundertealten Gegenverschwörung auf die Spur zu kommen. Oder ist alles nur eine Fiktion, ein Wahn?
The best American novel I have read since the war
"A puzzle, an intrigue, a literary and historical tour de force." - 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. . . . The work of a virtuoso with prose. . . . His intricate symbolic order is akin to that of Joyce's Ulysses." - Chicago Tribune
"Pynchon is again whispering something in our ear about the meaning of coincidence, the possibility of recurrence in history, and the circularity of time. . . . . The Crying of Lot 49 is one of those mystery novels that can't be solved." - New York Review of Books
"Remarkable. . . . The Crying of Lot 49 resembles metaphysical poetry in the range of its allusions and the curiosity of its creator. Consequently, the book is always surprising." - Washington Post
