ATD paperback cover

[Mark Kohut]

As a too-long dormant member of  this list put it:
   
  AtD is (mostly) about the Juggernaut of modernity.....which this cover alludes to in a big way...the pilot is dive-bombing a city........with echoes of GR, of course....
   
  see the wiki entry on that--Juggernaut of modernity; partiularly the sociologist Anthony Giddens...( we know TRP read sociologists such as Weber, Simmel)--- by someone
  you read regularly...

  See, I just picked up a copy of the paperback today... and my response was... WTF does this have to do with AtD?  I guess conclusions can be drawn but I don't think it works all that well.  I like the UK cover way more and would like to get a copy of that :P 

I am glad, however, that they didn't just reproduce the hardcover artwork - I don't think it would have worked for the paperback.

Paperback Row
By ELSA DIXLER
Published: November 4, 2007

AGAINST THE DAY, by Thomas Pynchon. (Penguin, $18.) Published nearly a
decade after "Mason & Dixon," "Against the Day" is Pynchon's longest 
(at 1,085 pages) and, our reviewer, Liesl Schillinger, said, his
funniest and most accessible novel. The complex plot unspools during
the years from 1893 to the 1920s; one of its strands is the attempt by
three brothers to avenge their father's murder by agents of the 
plutocracy. Along the way there are dazzling set pieces, Dickensian
characters, torrents of words and Pynchon's signature puns. "Against
the Day" proves Pynchon the heir to H. G. Wells and Joseph Conrad, 
Schillinger wrote, and a "matchless fantasist of the real.
