Inherent Vice (counterculture, The Great Novel) Quick delivery

Description: An excellent new edition of the legendary novel in the "Big Novel" series. Large format, hardcover. 512 pages. The book is new! Thomas Pynchon is, along with Salinger, the "great American recluse", one of the greatest writers of world literature of the 20th and now 21st centuries, unanimously recognized after his first publications as a classic on the level of Nabokov, Joyce and Borges. Pynchon's heroes are traditionally obsessed with themes of universal conspiracy and social paranoia, the search for the secret springs of history. And who would have thought that the author of such cornerstones of postmodernism as "V." and "Gravity's Rainbow" would take on a detective story. Well, Pynchon would not be Pynchon if he had not invented his own genre here - psychedelic noir. His hero, private detective Doc Sportello, occasionally emerging from a fuzzy haze, observes the end of the era of universal love and the onset of an age of paranoia. And when an ex-girlfriend named Shasta suddenly returns to his life with a story about the upcoming kidnapping of real estate magnate Mickey Volkmann, Doc is inevitably entangled in a cunning web of intersecting interests, non-obvious clues and false leads. And what is the ubiquitous Golden Fang - a tax evasion scheme invented by dentists, an Asian drug cartel or something much more sinister?.. In 2014, Paul Thomas Anderson - one of the main visionaries of modern cinema, director of such films as Boogie Nights and Magnolia, There Will Be Blood and The Master, Phantom Thread and Licorice Pizza - carefully transferred Inherent Vice to the big screen; For the first time in history, Pynchon's work has been adapted into a film. The film, nominated for two Oscars, stars Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Reese Witherspoon, Benicio del Toro, Joanna Newsom and others. The translation is published in a new edition.
