Inherent Vice: the trailer

OK, so there are about a million blogs and websites and newspapers doing reviews and retrospectives about Thomas Pynchon, now that Inherent Vice is upon us.

For instance, we have the Miami Herald, the New Yorker, the NYT, the Times and Guardian, the LA Times and Creative Loafing (who coin the winning phrase “marijuana noir”), and pretty much any other reputable and non-reputable newspaper in English.

Then there are the blogs, which include The Complete Review, The Second Pass, and over at The Cult, as well as this one to follow if he does as promised.

And then there is this. Is that Pynchon narrating?
