Luke TO ALL OF YOU WHO PURCHASED THE PENGUIN DELUXE EDITION

IT CONTAINS INNUMERABLE GRAMMATICAL ERRORS, SPELLING MISTAKES, AND OMITS ENTIRE SENTENCES.

FOR REFERENCE, READ THE LAST SENTENCE ENDING ON PAGE 139 LEADING INTO 140. IT SHOULD READ
"...Your task, in the dreams, is often to cross under the trees through the shadows before something happens."

Pynchon's prose is already archaic and complex enough without dozens of errors on behalf of the publisher. I advise you return it for any other edition or purchase another.


message 2: by Tim (new) - rated it 5 stars

Tim damn, no wonder it was on sale :p


Sarah damn, indeed.
I wonder if that's part of why I just couldn't follow and ended up hating the book?


Samson LeFerg archaic? what book are you reading?
