«Vicio propio» is the crime novel by Thomas Pynchon, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
In late-1960s Los Angeles, detective Doc Sportello receives his ex, Shasta, who asks for his help after the disappearance of her new lover, a real-estate magnate. The search plunges him into an intrigue of singular characters, where scruples are conspicuously absent, in a plot close to classic crime fiction.
Novel translated from English by Vicente Campos González, with original title Inherent Vice. Volume 41 of the Maxi collection.
A gateway to Thomas Pynchon for crime fiction readers seeking an offbeat plot and a sixties atmosphere.
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.
