Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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 re-imagined by Thomas Pynchon, featuring Native Americans and frontier folk, ripped bodices, naval warfare, conspiracies erotic and political, and major caffeine abuse. We follow the mismatched pair--one rollicking, the other depressive; one Gothic, the other pre-Romantic--from their first journey together to the Cape of Good Hope, to pre-Revolutionary America and back, through the strange yet redemptive turns of fortune in their later lives, on a grand tour of the Enlightenment's dark hemisphere, as they observe and participate in the many opportunities for insanity presented them by the Age of Reason.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>Mason & Dixon</i> is an amazing achievement...the novel of our time." --<i>Robert L. McLaughlin, Review of Contemporary Fiction</i> <p/>"M<i>ason & Dixon</i>--like <i>Huckleberry Finn</i>, like <i>Ulysses</i>--is one of the great novels about friendship in anybody's literature." --<i>John Leonard, The Nation</i> <p/>"A novel that is as moving as it is cerebral, as poignant as it is daring . . . A book that testifies to Pynchon's powers of invention and his sheer power as a storyteller." --<i>Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Thomas Pynchon</b> is the author of <i>V.</i>, <i>The Crying of Lot 49, Gravity's Rainbow, Slow Learner</i> (a collection of stories), and <i>Vineland</i>. He received the National Book Award for <i>Gravity's Rainbow </i>in 1974. He lives in New York.</p>
