Charles Mason (1728-1786) and Jeremiah Dixon (1733-1779) were the British surveyors best remembered for running the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland that we know today as the Mason-Dixon Line. Here is their story as re-imagined by Thomas Pynchon, featuring Native Americans and frontier folk, ripped bodices, naval warfare, conspiracies erotic and political, and major caffeine abuse. We follow the mismatched pair - one rollicking, the other depressive; one Gothic, the other pre-Romantic - from their first journey together to the Cape of Good Hope to pre-Revolutionary America and back, through the strange yet redemptive turns of fortune in their later lives, on a grand tour of the Enlightenment's dark hemisphere, as they observe and participate in the many opportunities for insanity presented them by the Age of Reason.

What an awesome reading this is. And the story itself is a masterpiece of the imagination.

Amazing

This is a fabulous, phantasmagorical account of Mason and Dixon's effort at surveying in America. Pynchon at his best.

Fabulous

And one that makes me smile pretty much nonstop at all the silly jokes and general right on perspective upon “history” and “tall tales.” Honest, I can’t think of a book or a movie or a record that has made me smile as much as this book/audiobook. A delight for the ages.

Truly the great American novel

This is a brilliantly inventive novel by Thomas Pynchon, full of wonderful characters and outrageous adventures. This novel shows clearly that Pynchon - whoever he is - is very familiar with Britain, British speech, and the eccentricities of British life. At the center of it all is the complex relationship between Mason and Dixon, who can't be together and can't be apart. As usual with Pynchon, science plays a major role in this novel, but it's also a very tender investigation of human relationships. It's also wickedly funny. The reading, by actor Steven Crossley, is well-paced and very enjoyable .

If you liked Against The Day you’ll like this. If you’re looking for anything baudy or action packed like Gravity’s Rainbow, maybe start there or Inherent Vice

Typical Pynchon in his element

Will definitely buy the text and reread it. Great performance of a treasure from Pynchon. Takes you to another world and gives life and character to our nation.

Sublime literature

I wanted to like this story more but struggled to follow the narrative. I hadn’t read the physical book before but found a chapter by chapter synopsis on Wikipedia when I was about 2/3 through the book and didn’t recall most of it. Performance was good but I’m ready to move on.

A challenging listen

During COVID, I decided to reread all my Pynchon
I got about 1/3 the way through M&D when I realized the beauty of his writing
I decided to start all over and listen at the same time as I had one done with Ulysses
It opened M&D to the masterpiece that it is
Masterful narration by someone who must truly love the book

Breathtaking

Perhaps it’s a matter of the writing style not being conducive to an audiobook, but I found listening to this book to be borderline incomprehensible (even by Pynchon standards). The voices that the narrator uses for the various characters are so similar that it is impossible to tell who is speaking at a given time or even to tell when one line of dialogue has ended and another begun.

I got to chapter 16 then decided to give up on the audiobook and pick up the physical book instead, which I found much easier to follow.
