After a twelve-year silence since Bleeding Edge, Thomas Pynchon returns with Shadow Ticket, a compact but dense noir that feels like a "greatest hits"
After a twelve-year silence since Bleeding Edge, Thomas Pynchon returns with Shadow Ticket, a compact but dense noir that feels like a "greatest hits" remix of his bibliography. Set in 1932, the novel begins as a Midwest detective caper reminiscent of Inherent Vice, starring Hicks McTaggart, a lindy-hopping PI hired to find a runaway cheese heiress. However, once the plot migrates from Milwaukee to the crumbling ruins of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the book sheds its gumshoe skin and goes "full Gravity’s Rainbow," plunging into a paranoid fever dream of rising fascism, sentient dairy products, and pre-war entropy. While the first act burns slowly—focused on the "Al Capone of Cheese"—the second half accelerates into that familiar, chaotic Pynchonian "Zone" of spies and anarchists. The brevity (under 300 pages) is bittersweet; it lacks the immersive sprawl of Against the Day, yet every sentence is packed with his trademark manic erudition. It is hilarious, terrifying, and distinctly Pynchon. "Cheese, oh to be sure, cheese is alive. Self-aware, actually, maybe not exactly the way we are, but still more than some clever simulation." "Sometimes all Hicks wants is to be back in Milwaukee... to a country not yet gone Fascist, a place of clarity and safety." Will he ever write another doorstopper? At 88 years old, it is highly unlikely we will see another 1,000-page leviathan like Mason & Dixon. Shadow Ticket feels like a final, playful bow—a concentrated dose of his genius rather than a sprawling feast.
