Town and Gown Literary Discussion Group: “The Crying of Lot 49” Online & In-Person (Registration)

Dobbs Ferry Public Library and Mercy University present The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon. Get the book at the Library!

The Crying of Lot 49 is Thomas Pynchon’s highly original classic satire of modern America, about Oedipa Maas, a woman who finds herself enmeshed in what would appear to be an international conspiracy.

When her ex-lover, wealthy real-estate tycoon Pierce Inverarity, dies and designates her the coexecutor of his estate, California housewife Oedipa Maas is thrust into a paranoid mystery of metaphors, symbols, and the United States Postal Service. Traveling across Southern California, she meets some extremely interesting characters, and attains a not inconsiderable amount of self-knowledge.
