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 and containing a revelatory essay on his
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. The five stories were
originally published individually in various literary magazines but
in 1984, after Pynchon had achieved greater recognition, Slow
Learner was published to collect and copyright the stories into one
volume., The introduction also offers a rare insight into Pynchon's
own views on his work and influences.
