Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon (EPUB)

Description

Part noir, part psychedelic romp, all Thomas Pynchon—Private eye Doc Sportello surfaces, occasionally, out of a marijuana haze to watch the end of an era In this lively yarn, Thomas Pynchon, working in an unaccustomed genre that is at once exciting and accessible, provides a classic illustration of the principle that if you can remember the sixties, you weren’t there. It’s been a while since Doc Sportello has seen his ex- girlfriend. Suddenly she shows up with a story about a plot to kidnap a billionaire land developer whom she just happens to be in love with. It’s the tail end of the psychedelic sixties in L.A., and Doc knows that “love” is another of those words going around at the moment, like “trip” or “groovy,” except that this one usually leads to trouble. Undeniably one of the most influential writers at work today, Pynchon has penned another unforgettable book.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is my first Pynchon book and man am I in love.Pynchon’s writing technique is very unique and is said to be hard to follow.I had to read this for a college course and 3/4 of my class didn’t understand what he was saying.Granted most of the people in my class were 18-20 year olds that read probably 1 book every two years.If you are an avid reader, this is a must read.

⭐A hard-boiled detective novel? Well, in the hands of Thomas Pynchon, not quite. While it is, I believe, the most newbie-friendly Pynchon, it is filled with that Pynchon touch of the fantastic and absurd. A joy to read, full of music, movie, TV and other cultural references from the 60s. I loved it!

⭐I’ve tried reading some other Pynchon novels, but found them a bit tedious. I loved Inherent Vice and all of the characters. The story is a little complicated, but I found it really fun to read. There was only one small section that I found a bit laggy, otherwise the story was really fun and enjoyable.

⭐one of the finest novels ever concieved

⭐Not sure why I waited so long to read Pynchon, but now I’m hooked. Well worth a read before seeing the movie.

⭐My favorite story of all time. Perfectly written

⭐A writer’s writer, Pynchon’s novel entertains on many levels, first as a nostalgic romp through the 60’s, then as a detective story, and finally as a clinic on descriptive writing. I recommend it to budding novelists as it has both inspired and instructed my writing.

⭐Of course it was awesome. I wish the movie was better.

⭐Thomas Pynchon is simply the greatest American writer of our times. This novel meanders around a loose plot surrounding a PI like no other who mingles and gets involved with the weirdest set of characters you could ever wish to meet. I am also glad that many years ago I read Day of the Locust.What can I say just read this or any Pynchon novel – you won’t regret it.

⭐Don’t be decieved by the whole Pynchon-lite angle. I don’t mean anything along the lines of it being difficult to read, only that while it might be shorter and more penetrable than Gravities Rainbow and Mason & Dixon etc, it’s certainly no less profound. In fact, I think Pynchon might’ve pulled off his greatest feat of all here, by simultaneously giving us an often Laugh ouy loud comedy entertainment detective thriller with all the big stuff built into it that those genres almost always eschew. I really love this book.

⭐I bought this book after watching the film starring Joaquin Phoenix. Great book with a surprising amount of complexity not really shown in the film adaptation. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed the film, has visited LA, or is interested in 70s American culture.

⭐Well that’s the third time I’ve tried to read Pynchon and the third time I’ve failed. Life’s too short. You know?

⭐Really good. Better than the film. Which was good but a bit ‘meh’. The book was great though – really took you somewhere. Man.
