Inherent Vice

Inherent Vice - Thomas Pynchon

Doc Sportello, a private investigator drifting in and out of a marijuana haze, finds himself watching a whole California moment start to vanish. Free love is slipping away, paranoia is rolling in with the L.A. fog, and one strange case draws him into a tangle of motives that keeps widening.

Los Angeles at the end of an era

Pynchon places the novel in a city where the mood is changing fast. What begins in the loose, smoky atmosphere around Sportello steadily fills with suspicion, confusion and the sense that something larger is closing in.

A crowded and crooked cast

Sportello moves through a world of surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, then runs into a murderous loan shark, an undercover sax player, a former convict with a swastika tattoo and a fondness for Ethel Merman, and the mysterious Golden Fang. Each figure adds another thread to a case that refuses to stay straightforward.
