Bleeding Edge
By Thomas Pynchon
496 pages;
Penguin
Readers tend to fall into two camps: those who revere Thomas
Pynchon for intricate novels like Gravity’s
Rainbow, The Crying of Lot 49 and V., and those who steer clear,
intimidated by the author’s rep for impenetrable prose. Both camps will have a
ball with Bleeding Edge (Penguin),
the ingeniously whimsical, accessible story of a New York City fraud
investigator who becomes entangled with some very sketchy characters as she
tries to get to the bottom of a case involving a tech billionaire.
