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. . .
