<p>This is a significant new and accessible work on the leading modern American novelist whose works - notably Gravity's Rainbow, which won the 1974 U.S. National Book Award for Fiction - remain mysterious to many, just as his life remains reclusive. Pynchon's fiction and non-fiction writings encompass a vast array of subject matter, genres and themes. His most recent novel is Bleeding Edge, published in September 2013.

The material Rolls uses to present his argument is often marginal and includes the available letters, many of which can be found in libraries; juvenilia, that which Pynchon wrote for his high-school newspaper as well as the unfinished "Minstrel Island"; the essay "Hallowe'en? Over Already?"; news
