Includes a link to an Entertainment Weekly review I hadn't seen:

"If I tell you that Thomas Pynchon's gloriously fizzy Against the Day is a 
1,000-plus-page novel containing multiple subplots about multiple grand 
plottings to achieve power all over the globe, and that it's set at the turn 
of the 20th century with alternative versions of world history, mathematics 
crossed with mysticism, radical politics, and funny names and songs — well, 
you may react like one of the main characters, Lew Basnight, a detective and 
''anarchist-hunter,'' who asks his friend Cohen, ''Could you get 
specific?''"
