内容简介
Suffused with rich satire, chaotic brilliance, verbal turbulence and wild humour, "The Crying of Lot 49" opens as Oedipa Maas discovers that she has been made executrix of a former lover's estate. The performance of her duties sets her on a strange trail of detection, in which bizarre characters crowd in to help or confuse her. But gradually, death, drugs, madness and marriage combine to leave Oepida in isolation on the threshold of revelation, awaiting "The Crying of Lot 49". This is one of Pynchon's shortest novels and one of his best.
作者简介
托马斯?品钦（1937— ），美国后现代主义文学的代表作家。他的作品往往以神秘的荒诞文学与当代科学的交叉结合为特色。他获得过美国全国图书奖，但拒绝领奖。其作品包含丰富的意旨、风格和主题，涉及历史、自然科学和数学等不同领域。
他对自己的个人生活讳莫如深，成名后深居简出，早年的照片和档案也离奇消失，使外界对他的私生活同对他的作品一样充满好奇与无奈。
