 Against the Day - Thomas Pynchon
While Against the Day isn't as difficult as some of Pynchon's other novels, its multiple story lines test the memory, and some folks may be scared off by the heady discussions of vectors, Brownian movements, zeta functions and so forth, not to mention words and phrases from a dozen languages scattered throughout.
Indeed, even with the premise so clearly spelled out, the story unfolds in a way that there's still a surprising power and poignancy to a late scene that eventually finds characters: "in a peculiar corner of a planet that might or might not be their own".
To fully enjoy Against the Day one has to accept that the larger picture won't come into sharp relief -- though many of the pieces and stories from it are (or seem) as clear as day.
