Slow Learner: Early Stories

Thomas Pynchon's literary career was launched not with the release of his widely acclaimed first novel, <i>V.,</i> but with the publication in literary magazines of the five stories collected here. In his introduction to <i>Slow Learner</i> the author reviews his early work with disarming candor and recalls the American cultural landscape of the early post-Beat era in which the stories were written. <i>Time</i> magazine described this introductory essay as "Pynchon's first public gesture toward autobiography."
