Against The Day: Extended Table of Contents
Compiled by Monte Davis
December, 2006
This table lists the book's 70 "chapters" —blocks beginning on a new page with a large gray capital letter. Within each of those, the table assigns a decimal to each shorter block beginning with a two-line break and small capital letters.One: The Light over the Ranges [chapter 1-10]
Two: Iceland Spar [chapter 11-31]
Three: Bilocations [chapter 32-49]
Four: Against the Day [chapter 50-69]
Five: Rue du Départ [chapter 70]
Mr Davis —who has a live journal on the web, which contains a beautiful impression of James Maxwell, is currently working on a book about the middle age of Space Age. He is a regular contributor to the Thomas Pynchon discussion list and kindly granted authorisation to make this extended table of contents published on the web.
[July 2007] Douglas Lannark, author of 5 Pynchon articles, all available at Otto Sell's excellent web site, noted 5 errors: 3 of these were related to lay out inconsistency, 2 were incorrect page numbers. Thank you, Douglas!
Based upon Monte's work, an Extended Table of Contents for Mason & and Dixon has been compiled, as well as one for V.
