New York: Henry Holt, 1997. First Edition. Review copy with the publisher’s dated review slip and publicity sheets laid in. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
Synopsis
Mason and Dixon by Thomas Pynchon is a sprawling, complex, and rather comic work: his Most Magickal reinvention of the 18th-century novel. This tale follows the lifelong partnership and adventures of the English surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon (of Mason-Dixon Line fame) as they travel the world mapping and measuring through an uncharted pre-Revolutionary America of Native Americans, white settlers, taverns, and bawdy establishments of ill-repute.
