A drifting ex-sailor bums around with aimless friends in New York, while another man chases a mysterious figure known only as a letter across decades of colonial massacres and vanished spies, and never quite catches her.

Life's single lesson: that there is more accident to it than a man can ever admit to in a lifetime and stay sane.
V, Thomas Pynchon
