New York: Viking Penguin. The award-winning Pynchon's seventh book spans most of three decades from the 1893 World's Fair in Chicango to just after World War I; the action moves from Colorado to New York to London, Venice, Vienna, Central Asia, Siberia, Mexico, Hollywood and a few places not on any map; its characters include anarchists, balloonists, gamblers, tycoons, innocents and decadents, shamans and scientists, spies, detectives and hired guns with cameo appearances by Bela Lugosi and Groucho Marx.
