03.02: The Crying of Lot 49

In which we move on to chapter 2 of The Crying of Lot 49.

Oedipa heads to San Narciso to begin her executing Inverarity’s will, runs into a not-quite-British-Invasion band called the Paranoids, and has something of a remarkable tryst with a actor-turned-lawyer named Metzger.

Just whatever you do, don’t lose your head.
