*3. Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon
<https://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/nov/25/fiction.thomaspynchon>*
Pynchon’s novel is an anarchist’s bomb, gleefully exploding notions of plot
and character. The riots of the historical Ludlow massacre in Colorado,
where an iron company has paid for an attack on striking miners in 1914,
fuels a kaleidoscopic exploration of wonderful Pynchon obsessions:
authority and freedom, technology, sex and death.
