      WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR

      Slow Learner
      is a compilation of early stories written between 1959 and 1964, before Pynchon achieved recognition as a prominent writer for his 1963 novel, V. This edition also contains a revelatory essay on Pynchon''s early influences and writing.

      The collection consists of five short stories: ''The Small Rain'', ''Lowlands'', ''Entropy'', ''Under the Rose'', and ''The Secret Integration'', as well as an introduction written by Pynchon himself for the 1984 publication, offering a rare insight into his own views on his work.
