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?''"
