WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR

Slow Learner
is a compilation of early stories written between 1959 and 1964, before Pynchon achieved recognition as a prominent writer for his 1963 novel, V. This edition also contains a revelatory essay on Pynchon''s early influences and writing.

The collection consists of five short stories: ''The Small Rain'', ''Lowlands'', ''Entropy'', ''Under the Rose'', and ''The Secret Integration'', as well as an introduction written by Pynchon himself for the 1984 publication, offering a rare insight into his own views on his work.

''Pynchon at his best'' Guardian

''[This] volume not only collects five early works but offers an easygoing, seemingly vulnerable 20-page introduction by the vanishing author himself'' New York Times

''Possibly the most accomplished writer of prose in English since James Joyce'' London Review of Books
