A Meerkat / Thomas Pynchon joint – “Inherent Vice” Book Trailer

August 4th, 2009 by bryan

Thomas Pynchon’s new book, “Inherent Vice,” hits bookstores today. A Big Lebowski-esque jaunt through pot-addled late 60’s beachfront L.A., TP’s take on the crime fiction genre presents a sprawling and sometimes foggy cast of characters seen through the eyes of Doc Sportello, a consistently stoned private eye witnessing the last days of the free love era.

The online trailer for the book was produced as a collaboration between your very own Meerkat Media, Penguin Books, and Thomas Pynchon, and may or may not feature a cameo voiceover by the reclusive author himself.
