Great Read for a Great Novel - One Weird Problem
Revisado: 01-05-20
Crying of Lot 49 may be Thomas Pynchon's greatest novel. (Although, ask me tomorrow, and mention Inherent Vices). It is funny and sad and maddening, and the only thing that time has done since its publication in 1967 is to give it an aura of prophecy. As for the reader, George Wilson, he is a maestro of the subtly lifted eyebrow. The dryly unspoken retort. A perfect reader for such a tart little comedy of manners.
This audio has one peculiar problem. It is recorded maybe a little too well. To the point where Mister Wilson's adenoid's begin to fight for their place on the stage. I could hear the creak whenever he shifted in the chair. I could hear cars driving by in the street. At one point, I swear I could hear the rumble of gas in Wilson's stomach.
By all means, download the book. You will laugh out loud and be caught up in its weird, mid-sixties paranoia.
But maybe listen to this one without the headphones...
