Welcome to the Pynchon Wiki

Pre-Order Against the Day
The Mysterious Airship of 1896
This is the newly created Wiki for -- inaugurally -- Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day (pub date: 11/21/06), and eventually for the guides to Pynchon's other "big" novels, V., Gravity's Rainbow and Mason & Dixon, which are currently available at ThomasPynchon.com. Eventually, all the novels will be migrated here so that registered users of this wiki can create pages and make changes for those novels' guides.

You can read the Against the Day description, written by Thomas Pynchon, which appeared, disappeared and reappeared at Amazon.com.

Click here for help with editing and creating pages.

We have a few conventions we ask that you follow:

  • When creating a new page, if its information pertains to one (and only one) specific Pynchon novel (currently just Against the Day, please preface it with the identifier "ATD".
  • For example, Against the Day is divided into five sections, and we're starting a section-by-section annotation, so the first section is ATD The Light Over the Ranges.
  • If you'd like to start a foreign translations page for Against the Day, you'd use ATD - Translations.

Featured Article

Tesla's Wardenclyffe laboratory, where he tested his death ray.

Was the Tunguska Event Caused by Tesla's Death Ray?. Given that Tesla's inventions generally possessed an element of social conscience, of doing good for humanity, it may seem surprising that he created a number of devices with military applications. And the notion of the Tesla harnessing his mind for purposes of war may seem immensely frightening. After all, this is the man who boasted that with his resonance generator he could split the earth in two... and no one was ever quite sure whether he was joking.
