PYNCHON, Thomas

V.

PYNCHON, Thomas. V. New York and Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott, (1963). Octavo, original lavender cloth, original dust jacket. $2400. First edition of Pynchon's first novel. V's far-reaching scope and complexity established Pynchon as one of the most imaginative voices of the postwar era. "Inconclusive, gripping, confusing in outline but convincing in detail, V is a blackly comic odyssey into the occult corners and bizarre anxieties of 20th-century Europe and America" (Parker, Reader's Guide to the Twentieth-Century, 403). First issue dust jacket, without reviews on rear panel. Book with light fading to extremities. Dust jacket with a few small tears to extremities, tiny chip to tail of spine. Nevertheless, a very nice copy of this scarce title.
