Digestible Classics dives into the best books that are short enough for a busy schedule. Everyone is welcome, no matter your experience with classic literature. If you're new to it, this is a great place to start. This month we'll be reading The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon.
In The Crying of Lot 49, Pynchon's symbolism and commentary on the United States and human isolation have been praised as intricate and masterly, though some reviewers found it to be maddeningly dense. One day, Mrs. Edipa Maas finds out that she has been named executor of an immense fortune by her former lover Pierce, a Californian millionaire. A series of amazing coincidences will put her on the trail of a delirious mystery in which outlandish characters such as her husband will appear.
