Eileen Battersby gives thanks for the Great American Novels

[Dave Monroe]

14. The Crying of Lot 49 (1966) by Thomas Pynchon

Our heroine, Oedipa Maas, returns home slightly tipsy from a
Tupperware party to learn that she has been named executor – “or
should that be executrix?” – of her dead ex-lover’s estate.

It all spins upon a set of postage stamps that may have been issued by
an underground postal service. Oedipa means well and she is intent on
finding the truth, but no one wants to help her.

Now read on – off-beat postmodernism rarely comes funnier.
