About This Item
Hardcover. Fine. First Edition. First Printing. Dust Jacket - not price clipped. This is an excellent first edition of the reclusive author's anticipated fourth novel. It was published in 1990, almost 20 years after his National Book Award-winning and game-changing novel Gravity's Rainbow (1973).
Vineland sparked strong reactions from critics and readers alike. Some hated it, and some loved it. Go back in time to 1990 with this impressive first edition - inlaid in the book are book review clippings circa 1990, collected by the original owner.
Some consider Vineland to have been overshadowed by the impressive Mason & Dixon (1997). But Vineland is special in its own right, as an impressive return to the literary world for Mr. Pynchon. In his 1990 review, Salman Rushdie called it "that rarest of birds: a major political novel about what America has been doing to itself, to its children, all these many years."
Go inside the mind of one of our most important living authors and see what he was thinking and writing for those 17 mysterious years between 1973 and 1990.
