Traveling across Southern California, she meets some extremely interesting characters, and attains a not inconsiderable amount of self-knowledge.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>The highly original satire about Oedipa Maas, a woman who finds herself enmeshed in a worldwide conspiracy, meets some extremely interesting characters, and attains a not inconsiderable amount of self knowledge.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A puzzle, an intrigue, a literary and historical tour de force with a strongly European flavor."--<strong><em>San Francisco Examiner</em></strong><br><br>"The comedy crackles, the puns pop, the satire explodes."--<strong><em>New York Times</em></strong><br><br>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.--<strong><em>Library Journal</em></strong><br><br>The work of a virtuoso with prose. . . . His intricate symbolic order is akin to that of Joyce's Ulysses.--<strong><em>Chicago Tribune</em></strong><br>
