Praise for Mason & Dixon
"Awash with light and charm, rich with suggestion and idea, stuffed with the minutiae of another time and world. Mason & Dixon is less a book to read through than to read in, to savor paragraph by paragraph."
—Paul Skenazy, San Francisco Chronicle
"As a fellow-novelist I could only envy it and the culture that permits the cre¬ation and success of such intricate masterpieces. This almost feels like the last great fiction of our dying era. Though I'm sure it won't be, I must admire its sense of the bright farewell, the clear passing overseas of the torch that Peacock, Dickens, Lawrence, and Conrad bore. You'll not find a better, this next time round."
—John Fowles, The Spectator
"A dazzling work of imaginative re-creation, a marvel-filled historical novel . . . Exceptionally funny."
—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World
"Mason & Dixon will make you want to curse American history, then turn around and bless it, because nowhere else but America could you find a zany literary genius like Thomas Pynchon." —Malcolm Jones Jr., Newsweek
"Splendid . . . Mason & Dixon—like Huckleberry Finn, like Ulysses—is one of the great novels about male friendship in anybody's literature."
—John Leonard, The Nation
"Pynchon always has been wildly inventive, and gorgeously funny when he surpasses himself: the marvels of this book are extravagant and unexpected."
—Harold Bloom, Bostonia
"This is the old Pynchon, the true Pynchon, the best Pynchon of all. Mason
& Dixon is a groundbreaking book, a book of heart and fire and genius, and
there is nothing quite like it in our literature, except maybe V., and Gravity's
Rainbow." —T. Coraghessan Boyle, The New York Times book review
