#164. The Crying Of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

Title:
The Crying of Lot 49
Author:
Thomas Pynchon
Genre:
Post-Modernist Literature
Synopsis:
Oedipa Mass is sent on a strange journey when her ex-boyfriend names her executor of his will.
Verdict:
Incredibly strange, an interesting lens through which to view America and Western society but not really my cup of tea. It seemed like everybody could have benefitted from some counselling or medication. There was some pretty gorgeous imagery and turns of phrase in there though.
