Bleeding EdgeIt is 2001 in New York City, in the lull between the collapse of the dot com boom and the terrible events of September 11th. Silicon Alley is a ghost town, Web 1. 0 is having adolescent angst, Google has yet to IPO, Microsoft is still considered the Evil Empire. There may not be quite as much money around as there was at the height of the tech bubble, but there's no shortage of swindlers looking to grab a piece of what's left. Maxine Tarnow is running
It is 2001 in New York City, in the lull between the collapse of the dot-com boom and the terrible events of September 11th. Silicon Alley is a ghost town, Web 1.0 is having adolescent angst, Google has yet to IPO, Microsoft is still considered the Evil Empire. There may not be quite as much money around as there was at the height of the tech bubble, but there's no shortage of swindlers looking to grab a piece of what's left. Maxine Tarnow is running a nice little fraud investigation business on the Upper West Side, chasing down different kinds of small-scale con artists. She used to be legally certified but her license got pulled a while back, which has actually turned out to be a blessing because now she can follow her own code of ethics--carry a Beretta, do business with sleazebags, hack into people's bank accounts--without having too much guilt about any of it. Otherwise, just your average working mom--two boys in elementary school, an off-and-on situation with her sort of semi-ex-husband Horst, life as normal as it ever gets in the neighborhood--till Maxine starts looking into the finances of a computer-security firm and its billionaire geek CEO, whereupon things begin rapidly to jam onto the subway and head downtown. She soon finds herself mixed up with a drug runner in an art deco motorboat, a professional nose obsessed with Hitler's aftershave, a neoliberal enforcer with footwear issues, plus elements of the Russian mob and various bloggers, hackers, code monkeys, and entrepreneurs, some of whom begin to show up mysteriously dead. Foul play, of course. With occasional excursions into the DeepWeb and out to Long Island, Thomas Pynchon, channeling his inner Jewish mother, brings us a historical romance of New York in the early days of the internet, not that distant in calendar time but galactically remote from where we've journeyed to since. Will perpetrators be revealed, forget about brought to justice? Will Maxine have to take the handgun out of her purse? Will she and Horst get back together? Will Jerry Seinfeld make an unscheduled guest appearance? Will accounts secular and karmic be brought into balance? Hey. Who wants to know? The Washington Post"Brilliantly written... a joy to read... Bleeding Edge is totally gonzo, totally wonderful. It really is good to have Thomas Pynchon around, doing what he does best." (Michael Dirda) Slate.com
"If not here at the end of history, when? If not Pynchon, who? Reading Bleeding Edge, tearing up at the beauty of its sadness or the punches of its hilarity, you may realize it as the 9/11 novel you never knew you needed... a necessary novel and one that literary history has been waiting for." The New York Times Book Review
Exemplary... dazzling and ludicrous... Our reward for surrendering expectations that a novel should gather in clarity, rather than disperse into molecules, isn't anomie but delight." (Jonathan Lethem) Wired magazine
"The book's real accomplishment is to claim the last decade as Pynchon territory, a continuation of the same tensions -- between freedom and captivity, momentum and entropy, meaning and chaos -- through which he has framed the last half-century."

Smells Clean & Wonderful
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I got the strawberry fizz wash and it smells divine! It lathers up nicely and provides a good clean feel. It washes cleanly so no residue or stickiness afterwards. Olay is a great product and I would like to try the Wicked scent as well. After using this once, my skin felt soft and amazing.

Ooo that smell.
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If you’re searching for a body wash that will transform your shower routine, look no further! I recently experienced the most delightful shower using this incredible body wash, and I can’t stop raving about it. The moment I lathered up, I was welcomed by the irresistible scent of strawberry cream—it felt like a treat for my senses!
Not only does this body wash smell heavenly, but it also excels in moisturizing. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn’t need to use as much product to achieve that perfect lather. It cleanses beautifully while leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated—what more could you ask for?
I've always been a loyal Olay user, but this body wash takes the experience to an entirely new level. I know it might sound unusual to be this excited over a body wash, but trust me, this one is a game changer. You absolutely have to try it for yourself!
I highly recommend this product, but don’t wait too long—rumor has it that it might only be available for a limited time. I’m definitely planning to stock up! While I usually don’t share videos, I just had to spread the word about this amazing find. Don’t miss out on the chance to elevate your shower experience!today.

Smells Good, Softens Skin
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It smells so good. The pump works just like it should. I haven’t had any issues with getting the soap out. I can tell a difference in my skin. It feels softer and looks good. It seems like it’s going to last for a while, too.

Great lather, great scent, great body wash!
Scent: Raspberry, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love trying new body washes. I tend to stay away from Olay because I've always heard Dove is better... I'm a convert now because this OLAY is way better than most of the body washes I've tried recently. With most soaps I use, it takes so much product to get it to lather. Not this soap! I used 2 pumps for my whole shower and it was still lathering!! The scent is strong in the best way! I can actually smell it on my skin hours after my shower!! I felt super clean post shower. No residue or dry skin. Just the right amount of moisture left on my skin. I'm going to try the other scents now!
