Mason & Dixon
Author: Thomas Pynchon
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101594640
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 776
Book Description
"A novel that is as moving as it is cerebral, as poignant as it is daring." - Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Mason & Dixon - like Huckleberry Finn, like Ulysses - is one of the great novels about male friendship in anybody's literature." - John Leonard, The Nation Charles Mason (1728–1786) and Jeremiah Dixon (1733–1779) were the British surveyors best remembered for running the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland that we know today as the Mason-Dixon Line. Here is their story as reimagined by Thomas Pynchon, featuring Native Americans and frontier folk, ripped bodices, naval warfare, conspiracies erotic and political, major caffeine abuse. Unreflectively entangled in crimes of demarcation, Mason & Dixon take us along on a grand tour of the Enlightenment’s dark hemisphere, from their first journey together to the Cape of Good Hope, to pre-Revolutionary America and back to England, into the shadowy yet redemptive turns of their later lives, through incongruities in conscience, parallaxes of personality, tales of questionable altitude told and intimated by voices clamoring not to be lost. Along the way they encounter a plentiful cast of characters, including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Samuel Johnson, as well as a Chinese feng shui master, a Swedish irredentist, a talking dog, and a robot duck. The quarrelsome, daring, mismatched pair—Mason as melancholy and Gothic as Dixon is cheerful and pre-Romantic—pursues a linear narrative of irregular lives, observing, and managing to participate in the many occasions of madness presented them by the Age of Reason.

A Gravity's Rainbow Companion
Author: Steven C. Weisenburger
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820337641
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Adding some 20 percent to the original content, this is a completely updated edition of Steven Weisenburger's indispensable guide to Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. Weisenburger takes the reader page by page, often line by line, through the welter of historical references, scientific data, cultural fragments, anthropological research, jokes, and puns around which Pynchon wove his story. Weisenburger fully annotates Pynchon's use of languages ranging from Russian and Hebrew to such subdialects of English as 1940s street talk, drug lingo, and military slang as well as the more obscure terminology of black magic, Rosicrucianism, and Pavlovian psychology. The Companion also reveals the underlying organization of Gravity's Rainbow--how the book's myriad references form patterns of meaning and structure that have eluded both admirers and critics of the novel. The Companion is keyed to the pages of the principal American editions of Gravity's Rainbow: Viking/Penguin (1973), Bantam (1974), and the special, repaginated Penguin paperback (2000) honoring the novel as one of twenty "Great Books of the Twentieth Century."

Book Description
"She is a soul who inhales maladies and exhales melodies" - Dr N K Sharma, Poet, Formerly Professor of English. M Phil, Ph D., A Frostian Scholar. "Sunita Grover Raina, an Indian poet writing in English, is a name to reckon with as a poet of the finest sensibility, whose poetry is a mosaic of vivid imagery and sensuous impressions, with frequent forays into an understated philosophy. Her ease with simple phrasing, her dense texture of metaphorical echoes, and the limpid flow of her mellifluous lines make her poetry a delectable read. Her debut book of poetry, titled “Sunny Rainbow" I believe, will stand out as a milestone in the contemporary literary journey of Indian English poetry." - Dr Jay Sankar Basu Poet, Associate Professor of ELT CLTCS, NSOU. "Sunita Grover Raina, a poet of originality, candid feelings and truth wrapped in the attire of beauty is a rising star on the horizons of English poetry inked in non-English speaking countries. Her poems so often win glamour and accolades. She is a popular poet and the secret behind her poetic fame rests on the pillars of truth, outspoken attitude and beautiful blending of fine thoughts weaved in still more fine words. She says what she feels and that is the thing that makes her lines penetrate deep into the hearts of readers." - Younas Rehman, Poet (Ex-Official at Civil Services Academy. Lahore, Pakistan)
