Order Mason & Dixon

This is the newly created Wiki for Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon, joining the wikis for Pynchon's other "big" novels, Gravity's Rainbow and Against the Day. We will soon be adding wikis for V. (the guide is currently hosted at ThomasPynchon.com, as well as Vineland, The Crying of Lot 49 and Slow Learner, so that registered users of this wiki can create pages and make changes for those works' guides.

You can take a look at Mason & Dixon covers or read the reviews.

How to Use this Wiki

There are two major ways to use this wiki. The first is the Mason & Dixon Alphabetical Index, used to keep track of the myriad characters, real and imagined, as well as events, arcana, and lots of other stuff. The second is the Spoiler-Free Annotations by Page, which allows the reader to look up and contribute allusions and references while reading the book, in a convenient and spoiler-free manner. These two sections are so far almost entirely different, but we're working on integrating them.

Apart from those, it's up to you!

Alphabetical Index

Pynchon Wiki Help and Contributor Guidelines

Click here for help with editing and creating pages.

We have a few conventions we ask that you follow:

  • When creating a new page, if its information pertains to one (and only one) specific Pynchon novel, please categorize it with the appropriate identifier. For example, a page pertaining to Gravity's Rainbow, should use the syntax [[Category:GR]].
  • To open a discussion on an individual listing of the Alpha Index, create one using the entry on Peter Tait as an example. Basically, give it a name that identifies the alpha listing (eg [[Name Discussion|DISCUSSION]]) and notice that the visible name will be "DISCUSSION" in full caps, so it stands out a bit.
