At Reason magazine, Jesse Walker reviews Shadow Ticket:
"There is often a scent of madness around Thomas Pynchon's fan base, and I say that as someone who has been one of those fans for around 40 years. The man has a reputation in some quarters as an unapproachable writer rarely read outside the academy, but the Pynchon cultists I encounter are more likely to be eccentric autodidacts prone to building elaborately strange mental models of the world."
Spoiler: Jesse enjoyed the book. Read the whole thing.
