Thomas Pynchon

Slow Learner: Early Stories

€13,95

Everybody gets told to write about what they know. The trouble with many of us is…we are often unaware of the scope and structure of our ignorance. Thomas Pynchon’s literary career was launched not with the release of his widely acclaimed first novel, V., but with the publication in literary magazines of the five stories collected here.

In his introduction to Slow Learner, the author reviews his early work with disarming candour and recalls the American cultural landscape of the early post-Beat era in which the stories were written.
