Pynchons Dystopia
Dys by Thomas Pynchon
Review By Dan Geddes
A new Thomas Pynchon work is always an event, and his
devoted readers will treasure his latest effort, Dys.
More than his earlier works, Dys fits the genre of
negative utopian fiction, but it is still a Pynchon
work more than anything elsea wickedly funny
masterpiece about power, history, and conspiracy. The
picture of encroaching fascism in America that Pynchon
sketched in his underappreciated Vineland has been
painted more luridly in Dys.
Americans in Dys live in constant fear and shock, in a
state of perpetual war, and under the eyes of
increasingly penetrating electronic surveillance....
