Pynchon on the BeachWhy has he settled for a stoned-out detective  
story?By Jonathan RosenbaumPosted Sunday, Aug. 2, 2009, at 11:21 AM ET

	"In this lively yarn, Thomas Pynchon, working in an
	unaccustomed genre, provides a classic illustration of the
	principle that if you can remember the sixties, you weren't there
	… or … if you were there, then you … or, wait, is it …" Once
	again, for his seventh novel, Inherent Vice, it sounds as if the
	author has furnished his own jacket copy, exploiting the doper
	humor that's often been part of his signature. . .
