Thomas Pynchon's longest novel to date, Against the Day (2006),
excited diverse and energetic opinions when it appeared on bookstore
shelves nine years after the critically acclaimed Mason & Dixon. Its
wide-ranging plot covers nearly three decades—from the 1893 World's
Fair to the years just after World War I—and follows hundreds of
characters within its 1085 pages. The book’s eleven essays by
established luminaries and emerging voices in the field of Pynchon
criticism, address a significant aspect of the novel's manifold
interests. By focusing on three major thematic trajectories (the
novel's narrative strategies; its commentary on science, belief, and
faith; and its views on politics and economics), the contributors
contend that Against the Day is not only a major addition to Pynchon's
already impressive body of work, but also a defining moment in the
emergence of twenty-first century American literature.
