Description
Mason & Dixon, a novel by Thomas Pynchon, tells the story of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two British surveyors who ran the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland. Their journey takes them from their first expedition to the Cape of Good Hope, through pre-Revolutionary America, and back to England.
Along the way, they encounter a diverse cast of characters, including figures from history and fiction alike. As they navigate the complexities of their own lives and the world around them, Mason & Dixon become embroiled in crimes of demarcation, conspiracies, and madness. This is a tale of irregular lives, observing, and participating in the many occasions of chaos presented by the Age of Reason.
With its unique blend of history, fiction, and philosophical inquiry, Mason & Dixon offers a rich and complex reading experience. Published in 1997, this novel has become a staple of modern literature, known for its innovative style and thought-provoking themes.
