New Thomas Pynchon novel to be published


Pyncbon's most famous novel; there's no cover reveal yet for the new book. 

As there is a lot of overlap between Pynchon fans and RAW fans, I thought I would share the news that the 87-year-old author is about to publish a new novel. Shadow Ticket will be out in October. It will be his first novel since 2013's Bleeding Edge. 

Here is the blurb and other details from the publisher.  The New York Times says it has confirmed with the publisher that the blurb was written by Pynchon himself.

Thank you for sharing this. I may reread Gravity's Rainbow. I love how Tim Leary writes about that novel.

I think I remember Gravity's Rainbow popping up in The Game of Life, but are you thinking of another book/essay, Eric?
What about having a Gravity's Rainbow reading group?

I think Leary mentioned Gravity's Rainbow in every book he wrote after 1973. I would love a Gravity's Rainbow study group at some point in the future. I suspect Tom has something Pynchonian up his sleeve.
