Den då tjugosexårige Tomas Pynchons nu femtio år gamla debutroman V. för första gången på svenska. V. är en civilisationskritisk romanberättelse med nedslag i olika tider och rum: Kairo 1898, Florens 1899, Paris 1913, tyska Syd-väst Afrika 1922, Malta på 40-talet och under kriget samt New York medan V. skrivs och låter sig väl sammanfattas som svaret på omslagets bildgåta: Vad är det som saknas och vad har vi fått istället?

Charles Mason (1728-1786) and Jeremiah Dixon (1733-1779) were the British surveyors best remembered for running the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland that we know today as the Mason-Dixon Line. Here is their story as re-imagined by Thomas Pynchon, featuring Native Americans and frontier folk, ripped bodices, naval warfare, conspiracies erotic and political, and major caffeine abuse. We follow the mismatched pair--one rollicking, the other depressive; one Gothic, the other pre-Romantic--from their first journey together to the Cape of Good Hope, to pre-Revolutionary America and back, through the strange yet redemptive turns of fortune in their later lives, on a grand tour of the Enlightenment's dark hemisphere, as they observe and participate in the many opportunities for insanity presented them by the Age of Reason.

The quest for V. sweeps us through sixty years and a panorama of Alexandria, Paris, Malta, Florence, Africa and New York. as become a modern classic. This is the first novel by the author of Gravity's Rainbow, and a profoundly impressive and original work in its own right.

In den Notizen des verstorbenen Vaters entdeckt Herbert Stencil das rätselhafte Symbol V. Er und Benny Profane, der andere Held des Romans, begeben sich auf die Suche nach ihm, die sich zu einer burlesken, aktionsreichen "tour de force" entwickelt. Die Handlung spielt in einem von der ehemaligen Afrikakolonie Deutsch-Südwest über Malta, Florenz und Paris bis nach Venezuela reichenden totalitären Weltstaat, in dem Begebenheiten aus der Geschichte und Vergangenheit dreier Kontinente vorsätzlich als geheimnisvolle, dunkle Machenschaften, als eine Verschwörung von globalem Ausmaß dargestellt werden.

Milwaukee, 1932. Hicks McTaggart, a onetime strikebreaker turned private eye, thinks he’s found job security until he gets sent on what should be a routine case: locating the heiress of a Wisconsin cheese fortune. Before he knows it, he finds himself on a transoceanic liner, ending up eventually in Hungary where there’s no shoreline, a language from some other planet, and of course no sign of the runaway. By the time Hicks catches up with her he is also entangled with Nazis, Soviet agents, British counterspies, swing musicians, practitioners of the paranormal, outlaw motorcyclists, and the troubles that come with each of them. Surrounded by history he has no grasp on, the only bright side for Hicks is it’s the dawn of the Big Band Era and as it happens he’s a pretty good dancer. Whether this will be enough to allow him somehow to Lindy-hop his way back again to Milwaukee and the normal world, which may no longer exist, is another question.

The new novel from Thomas PynchonMilwaukee 1932, the Great Depression going full blast, repeal of Prohibition just around the corner, Al Capone in the federal pen, the private investigation business shifting from labour-management relations to the more domestic kind. Hicks McTaggart, a one-time strikebreaker turned private eye, thinks he’s found job security until he gets sent out on what should be a routine case, locating and bringing back the heiress of a Wisconsin cheese fortune who’s taken a mind to go wandering. Before he knows it, he finds himself on a transoceanic liner, ending up eventually in Hungary where there’s no shoreline, a language from some other planet, and enough pastry to see any cop well into retirement – and of course no sign of the runaway heiress he’s supposed to be chasing. By the time Hicks catches up with her he will find himself also entangled with Nazis, Soviet agents, British counterspies, swing musicians, practitioners of the paranormal, outlaw motorcyclists, and the troubles that come with each of them, none of which Hicks is qualified, forget about being paid, to deal with.
