This is the Wiki for [[Thomas Pynchon]]'s ''Bleeding Edge''. Besides using the [[BE_Alpha_Nav|'''Alphabetical Index''']] and the [[Bleeding_Edge_-_Page_by_Page|'''page-by-page annotation''']], you can also take a look at [[Bleeding Edge cover analysis|''Bleeding Edge'' covers]], read the [[Bleeding Edge Reviews|reviews]], or [[Bleeding Edge Title|entertain some theories on the source of the title]].

Professor Don Larrson, he of the Companion's Companion to ''Bleeding Edge'' (which was rolled into this wiki), reviews Steve Weisenburger's the second, revised edition of ''A Gravity’s Rainbow Companion: Sources and Contexts for Pynchon’s Novel''.

==Penguin Press's "Trailer" for ''Bleeding Edge''==

Here's Penguin's trailer (Hmm...) for ''Bleeding Edge'' ... No Pynchon narration this time, and I wonder how successful it'll be in motivating potential readers, but it's definitely, um, interesting... Penguin Press said that the video was produced by Riz Sauvage (French: "Wild Rice") Productions, but they have zero presence online which does lead one to suspect....

==How to Use this Wiki==

There are two major ways to use this wiki. The first is the '''''Bleeding Edge'' Alphabetical Index''', used to keep track of the myriad characters, real and imagined, as well as events, arcana, and lots of other stuff. The second is the '''Spoiler-Free Annotations by Page''', which allows the reader to look up and contribute allusions and references while reading the book, in a convenient and spoiler-free manner.

Apart from those, it's up to you.

== Pynchon Wiki Help and Contributor Guidelines==

[[Help:Contents|'''Click here for help with editing and creating pages.''']]

We have a few conventions we ask that you follow:

* When creating a new page, first check to make sure a page/article about what you want to write about hasn't already been created, by '''[[Special:Allpages|checking the list of all Wiki pages on this ''Bleeding Edge'' Wiki]]'''. If a page already exists, please modify that one.

* When creating a new page, if its information pertains to one (and only one) specific Pynchon novel, please categorize it with the appropriate identifier. For example, a page pertaining to ''Bleeding Edge'', should use the syntax <code><nowiki>[[Category:BE]]</nowiki></code>.

* To open a discussion on an individual listing of the Alpha Index, create one using the [[A|entry on Peter Tait]] as an example. Basically, give it a name that identifies the alpha listing (eg <nowiki>[[Name Discussion|DISCUSSION]]</nowiki>) and notice that the visible name will be "DISCUSSION" in full caps, so it stands out a bit.

[[File:PubWeekly-logo.png|left]] '''''Bleeding Edge'' Review by David Kipen, for ''Publishers Weekly''''', is a well written and insightful appreciation of Pynchon's craft and his new novel! "No one, but no one, rivals Pynchon's range of language, his elasticity of syntax, his signature mix of dirty jokes, dread and shining decency."
