Thomas Pynchon Sells British Rights

vice2.jpgDan Franklin from the publisher Jonathan Cape has purchased UK rights to Thomas Pynchon‘s forthcoming private detective novel. The publisher has handled all of Pynchon’s work in the past.

Deborah Rogers from Rogers, Coleridge & White negotiated the deal, which Bookseller called “significant.” As GalleyCat reported last year, the book is entitled Inherent Vice–recording the psychedelic adventures of a private detective in California during the 1960s. Pynchon found his cover art on the Internet.

Franklin gave readers his opinion of of the book: “[It's] a joy. It’s brilliant on LA–specifically LA just after the Manson murders–and Pynchon’s take on the old triumvirate of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll is, as always, like no other writer’s.”
