Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Against the Grain: Reading Pynchon?s Counternarratives is the first book that critically addresses Thomas Pynchon?s novel Against the Day, published in 2006. The nineteen essays collected in this volume employ a large variety of approaches to this massive novel and also take it as an opportunity to reevaluate Pynchon?s earlier works, analyzing Against the Day in relation to V., The Crying of Lot 49, Gravity?s Rainbow, Vineland, Mason & Dixon, and Pynchon?s short stories and essays. The authors?younger as well as established scholars from eleven countries?address these works with regard to issues of modernism and postmodernism, politics, popular culture, concepts of space and time, visuality, sexuality, identity, media and communication, philosophy, religion, American and global (literary) history, physics, mathematics, economics, and many more. Their insights are as profound as they are diverse, and all provide fresh views on Pynchon?s fiction that will be useful, fascinating and entertaining for researchers and fans alike.
