Eye Weekly review

[Paul Murphy]

Laudatory review from Brian Joseph Davis in Toronto's Eye Weekly:

"The cover art is ripe Elmore Leonard hardcover cheese, but Thomas  
Pynchon’s latest is a private-eye novel only as much as El Topo is a  
cowboy picture. That is to say, Inherent Vice’s creator has earnestly  
followed a genre framework but his own obsessions have thoroughly  
colonized the genre, put their feet up on its genre couch, sparked a  
big fat joint and exhaled in its genre face."
