Pynchon Wiki: Against the Day

Welcome to the Pynchon Wiki

First, to become a contributor/editor, Create an account. Otherwise, just enjoy the info...

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 beginnings of an annotation of the Against the Day blurb, written by Thomas Pynchon, which appeared, disappeared and reappeared at Amazon.com.

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.

We will be providing more support for using this wiki in the coming weeks. Feel free to contact us (admin at pynchonwiki dot com) with any questions.

Thanks, and enjoy...
