Winner of the coveted William Faulkner Foundation First Novel Award in 1963, V. remains a popular literary classic by one of America's great modernists.

"The identity of V., what her many guises are meant to suggest, will cause much speculation. What will be remembered, whether or not V. remains elusive, is Pynchon's remarkable ability--which includes a vigorous and imaginative style, a robust humor, a tremendous reservoir of information (one suspects that he could churn out a passable almanac in a fortnight's time) and, above all, a sense of how to use and balance these talents. True, in a plan as complicated and varied as a Hieronymous Bosch triptych, sections turn up which are dull--the author backing and filling, shuffling the pieces of his enormous puzzle to no effect--but these stretches are far fewer than one might expect."

George Plimpton, New York Times Book Review, 4/21/1963
