The First Page: THE CRYING OF LOT 49 by Thomas Pynchon

2010-06-29T17:30:08.712Z

Foster, professor at the University of Michigan and the author of HOW TO READ LITERATURE LIKE A PROFESSOR, provides it in the second video in his The First Page series. Professor Foster shows students how paying close attention to the first page—even the first sentence—of THE CRYING OF LOT 49 will help them understand what is to come.
