The intellectual game-play is characteristically dazzling...colourful and pleasurable
Financial Times
Pynchon leaves the rest of the American literary establishment at the starting gate...the range over which he moves is extraordinary, not simply in terms of ideas explored but also in the range of emotions he takes you through
Time Out
The most important and mysterious writer of his generation
Time
You don't have to have been there; if you're willing, he'll take you there
Michael Carlson, Spectator
The pioneering work in a genre you'd have to call psychedelic Noir ...Who writes sentences as beautiful as Pynchon?
Sam Leith, Daily Mail
The greatest, wildest author of his generation
Guardian
Brilliant and brain boggling by turns
Daily Mail
Inherent Vice works brilliantly as both a neon-lit noir and as a psychedelic lament to the Sixties
Sunday Telegraph
Hilarious and thought-provoking
London Review of Books
A warm and joyous read. There is softness about this book, but also a tinge of melancholy
Billy O’Callaghan, Irish Examiner
