Working outside the spotlight of the press, Thomas Pynchon has produced dense, sprawling novels that have influenced generations of writers. Expressionistic works such as GRAVITY'S RAINBOW overlay goofy satire, pointillistic detail, and catastrophic lyricism to construct a thoroughly bleak view of human progress. This documentary explores the life of the elusive author and his even more mysterious work.
