Published in 2013, “The Edge Bang Bang” immediately became a bestseller: many complimentary reviews in the press, rave reviews from fans. Pynchon is true to himself - he masterfully juggles words and images, building a plot that readers prone to self-deception have already classified as “lite.” The novel is based on the most tragic event in the history of the United States and the whole world: the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001. According to critics, reads Pynchon the Nobel Prize in Literature, everything came together: “America’s greatest prose writer has written the greatest novel about the most significant event of the 21st century in his country.”
