Pynchon, Thomas |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
Pynchon, Thomas (1937– )US novelist. With great stylistic verve, he created a bizarre, labyrinthine world in his books, the first of which was V (1963), a parodic detective story in pursuit of the endlessly elusive Lady V. It was followed by the shorter comic quest novel, The Crying of Lot 49 (1966), before his gargantuan tour-de-force Gravity's Rainbow (1973; National Book Award), which represents a major achievement in 20th-century literature, with its fantastic imagery and esoteric language drawn from mathematics and science.
