V. (Fabula (Tusquets Editores), #278) (Perennial Classics) (Picador Books)
by Thomas Pynchon
The quest for V. sweeps us through sixty years and a panorama of Alexandria, Paris, Malta, Florence, Africa and New York. But who, where or what is V.? Bawdy, sometimes sad and frequently hilarious, V. as become a modern classic.
This is the first novel by the author of Gravity's Rainbow, and a profoundly impressive and original work in its own right.
