About This Item
Philadelphia:: Lippincott,, 1963.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with the slightest ear to the head of jacket spine. Enclosed in a blue cloth slipcase. Pynchon's debut novel follows discharged Navy sailor Benny Profane as he reconnects with an eclectic collection of artists in New York known as the "Whole Sick Crew" along with his sidekick Pig Bodine, and the plot of Herbert Stencil, looking to find the woman he knows only as she is described in his father's diary: "V." Brimming with madcap characters, the novel meanders from New York to Alexandria, Cairo, Paris, Florence, and Africa, and traverses generations.
