"Suffused with rich satire, chaotic brilliance, verbal turbulence and wild humor, *The Crying of Lot 49* opens as Oedipa Maas discovers that she has been made executrix of a former lover's estate. The performance of her duties sets her on a strange trail of detection, in which bizarre characters crowd in to help or confuse her. But gradually, death, drugs, madness, and marriage combine to leave Oedipa in isolation on the threshold of revelation, awaiting the Crying of Lot 49." *--Goodreads*
