Here is their story as re-imagined by Thomas Pynchon, featuring Native Americans and frontier folk, ripped bodices, naval warfare, conspiracies erotic and political, and major caffeine abuse. We follow the mismatched pair--one rollicking, the other depressive; one Gothic, the other pre-Romantic--from their first journey together to the Cape of Good Hope, to pre-Revolutionary America and back, through the strange yet redemptive turns of fortune in their later lives, on a grand tour of the Enlightenment's dark hemisphere, as they observe and participate in the many opportunities for insanity presented them by the Age of Reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Mason \u0026 Dixon | Thomas Pynchon | Paperback | 9780312423209 | New | Fiction 1286625","offer_id":48162466955416,"sku":"1286625","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/415Y9SRGSKL.jpg?v=1771870068","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/mason-dixon","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
