«Mason y Dixon» is the historical novel by Thomas Pynchon published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback, 958 pages, in Spanish.
The novel recreates the relationship between the British astronomers Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon and their commission to trace the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland, which would symbolise the division between the free and slave states of the United States. The narrative interweaves their lives with the historical, scientific and social context of the enlightened century.
The novel originally appeared in 1997; this Spanish edition is from 2000 and features a translation by Jordi Fibla.
A long and demanding novel, intended for readers who enjoy erudite narrative laden with historical and literary references.
Thomas Ruggles Pynchon Jr. is an American novelist. He is known for his dense, complex works of postmodern fiction, which are distinguished by their paranoid tone, absurd humor, and references to history, art, science, and popular culture. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American novelists. Pynchon is notoriously reclusive. Few photographs of him have been published, and rumors about his location and identity have circulated since the 1960s.
