More than in any of Pynchon's previous books, just
what it all means is a problem in Against the Day,
where plots and ideas and fantastic developments pile
up in exhausting profusion. You've been vouchsafed
once again his vision of a bright, beleaguered world,
this one with more than its share of resemblances to
our realities post--Sept. 11. With another few decades
of reading and decoding, you may even get the work's
largest intentions to snap into focus. Or maybe not.
For all its brilliant passages, this is the book that
makes you wonder whether even Pynchon knows what lies
behind all those veils he's always urging us to part.
But wouldn't you know it? Even when he jumps the
shark, he does it with an agility that can take your
breath away.
