		IN The Crying of Lot 49 - Thomas Pynchon
		The Crying of Lot 49 tells the story of what happens when Oedipa Maas, a discontent and too-smart-for-her-own-good suburban housewife, is named executor of the estate of Pierce Inverarity, her late ex-boyfriend.
		Lot 49 drips with irony and spends a lot of time questioning whether life has meaning and whether humans can really communicate with each other, and exploring how the past and the present interact with each other.

	Distorted Communication in Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49
		In Lot 49, we are presented with historical mysteries and symbols that the protagonist cannot decipher.
		Lot 49 is largely a meditation on the failure of communication, both in the present, and between generations.
		The central mystery in Lot 49 is the symbol of the muted horn, which appears linked to an underground mail system (known as W.A.S.T.E.), and is also associated with a mysterious historical group known as The Trystero.

		There are four possibilities in The Crying of Lot 49: you have found the truth, you are imagining the truth, someone has created a huge conspiracy to trick you into thinking you've found the truth, or you believe that the conspiracy is the truth when it is not, and in fact you have gone crazy.

		Oedipa is looking for the kind of comprehensive myth of America that she has been taught to believe in (The Crying of Lot 49 83).

	The Crying of Lot 49, a Comparison With White Noise, and Pynchon's Relation to Cultural Trends
		Pynchon's short second novel The Crying of Lot 49 has much in common with Don DeLillo's book White Noise, particularly in terms of characters, plot and themes.
		The two protagonists of the works, Oedipa Maas of Lot 49 and Jack Gladney of White Noise, are characters struggling to make sense of their worlds, and yet, both are afraid to face pure, filtered truth.
		Oedipa is presented with the Tristero problem, the muted horn, and must decide whether there is an international and ancient worldwide conspiracy, or whether there is simply a conspiracy against her, created by her ex-and now dead boyfriend.

		I just re-read Thomas Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49" and it still reads like a confusing and twisted drug trip gone bad at times.
		I identify with Oedipa Maas, the main character, who seems to see the world through a sort of fog or should I say, smog because the story is set in Southern California.
		But everything begins to unravel as Oedipa tries to uncover the truth about one mystery after another all based upon Pierce's stamp collection which is auctioned off as Lot 49.

		This little book written to provide insight into the myriad of Pynchon's obscure references and symbolic appellations in The Crying of Lot 49 is a worthwhile source of help if used with discretion and common sense.
		The problem lies in the fact that while many of Grant's suggestions are useful, others simply bring about the same type of confusion that he is trying to address, since he often gives more than one possible explanation for each passage discussed.
		That is not to say that the book is not useful, it is, only that The Crying of Lot 49 by its very nature resists such means of explanation.

		According to Johnstone, Oedipa functions textually as a "blind spot," while the series of men she confronts in the novel are acting as "interpreter priests," competing for discursive precedence.
		Attempting to assess Pynchon's work in light of the various contexts which his writing elicits (the 1950s and '60s, Puritanism, captivity narratives, eschatology, et al.), Petillon argues that Oedipa's quest in the novel, though ostensibly an escape from confinement, is finally a return to America's Puritan roots.
