Herr Pynchon pitcht sein neues Buch auf Amazon:

Meanwhile, the author is up to his usual business. Characters stop what they're doing to sing what are for the most part stupid songs. Strange sexual practices take place. Obscure languages are spoken, not always idiomatically. Contrary-to-the-fact occurrences occur. If it is not the world, it is what the world might be with a minor adjustment or two. According to some, this is one of the main purposes of fiction. Let the reader decide, let the reader beware; Good luck - Thomas Pynchon

Das wird wahrscheinlich das erste Mal sein, daß ich diesen pre-order-Quatsch mitmache. Bleibt nur noch zu klären, ob Jonathan Cape oder Penguin. Aber so schönde Cover wie bei den Pynchon-Titeln in der Paperback-Ausgabe von Vintage wird es wohl nicht geben.
