Joshua Rothkopf likee:	

	From Thomas Pynchon, an author we expect to take decadelong
	breaks, now emerges his second novel in three years. The pace
	does him good: Inherent Vice, besides being the literary giant’s
	most accessible work, is the kind of confident, relaxed effort that
	might signal a golden age ahead. Pynchon has produced a
	pungently stoned SoCal detective mystery, as laid-back as its
	hero, Larry “Doc” Sportello, a joint-toking, beach-town–dwelling
	private investigator with a strong suspicion that his psychedelic
	’60s are ending. . .
