This novel is highstrung and incredibly funny. It is tinged with psychedelia and creates a web of allusions to popular music, contemporary writers and artists that is amusing to navigate through. All characters, who sport wild and symbolic names such as Gengis Cohen and Mr. Fallopian, revolve around a mysterious centuries-long conflict among competing mailing systems. It is amazing that P. manages to turn such an unappealing topic in a captivativing LSD-drenched odyssey through California, and through man’s need for certainties. Oedipa, the novel’s Ulysses, zigzags through the state trying to guess if the mystery she is uncovering is her paranoia, a huge complot or just reality, but the uncertainty is never resolved.
