Thomas Pynchon – Inherent Vice – First Edition 2009
£125.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘Inherent Vice’ published by Cape in 2009. A fine book in like wrapper.
The novel follows Doc Sportello, a stoner private detective in 1970s Los Angeles, as he investigates the disappearance of a real-estate mogul and Doc’s ex-girlfriend. The mystery tangles with hippie culture, government paranoia, drug-hazed clues, and shady conspiracies. Doc drifts through a surreal landscape of surfers, cults, cops, and criminals. Blending noir and satire, the novel explores fading counterculture, corrupt power, and the slippery nature of truth in a chaotic, sun-baked America.
