Description

The inimitable Thomas Pynchon has been doing it again. Praised as "a significant thing of beauty" from The Wall Street Journal, his first book in nearly five years covers the period between your Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and the years soon after World War I and goes among areas over the planet (and to a couple areas not purely talking about the chart in any way). Having a phantasmagoria of figures and a kaleidoscopic piece, From the Evening affects an environment of approaching catastrophe, unrestrained corporate greed, fake religiosity, moronic fecklessness, and bad intention in large locations and still manages to be amusing, moving, serious, and a lot more.
