The first is the '''''Inherent Vice'' 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.\n\nApart from those, it's up to you.\n\n==Alphabetical Index==\nInformation on the characters, events, and everything else in ''Inherent Vice'', organized alphabetically:{{IV_Alpha_Nav}}\n\n\n\n==Page by Page Annotations==\n{{Inherent Vice PbP}}\n\n== Pynchon Wiki Help and Contributor Guidelines==\n\n[[Help:Contents|'''Click here for help with editing and creating pages.''']]\n\nWe have a few conventions we ask that you follow:\n\n* 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 ''Inherent Vice'' Wiki]]'''. If a page already exists, please modify that one.\n\n* 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 ''Inherent Vice'', should use the syntax <code><nowiki>[[Category:IV]]</nowiki></code>.\n\n* 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.\n\n* [[Help:Contents|More help for this wiki available here.]]\n\n==External Links==\n\n* [http://www.thomaspynchon.com/ ThomasPynchon.com]\n* [http://www.inherent-vice.com/ Inherent Vice Diagrammed]\n* [http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/ The Modern Word Pynchon page]\n: [http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/pynchon_vice.html The Modern Word: Inherent Vice]\n: [http://z11.invisionfree.com/thefictionalwoods/index.php The Fictional Woods] - a Pynchon forum\n* [http://pynchonoid.blogspot.com/ Pynchonoid Blog]\n* [http://inherentvice.wordpress.com Inherent Vice blog] A blog filled in while reading Inherent Vice\n* [http://twitter.com/viceinherent Inherent Vice on Twitter]\n* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inherent_Vice Wikipedia Inherent Vice page]\n* [http://www.wired.com/special_multimedia/2009/pl_print_1708 Wired Magazine Unofficial Thomas Pynchon Guide to Los Angeles]\n* [http://www.theaesthetic.com/NewFiles/pynchon.html Thomas Pynchon in Manhattan Beach]\n* [http://www.lrb.co.uk/v31/n24/bill-pearlman/short-cuts Bill Pearlman's recollections of Pynchon in Manhattan Beach]\n* [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204619004574318360877609486.html ''The Wall Street Journal'': Pynchon\u2019s Drugstore Thriller (July 30, 2009)]\n* [http://www.u-town.com/iv iv &ndash; a site about Inherent Vice]\n* [http://literarywiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page Literarywiki.org] - wiki annotations to works by Pynchon, Umberto Eco, and many others.\n\n==Featured Articles==\n[[image:PT-Anderson.png|left|thumb|caption|Paul Thomas Anderson|180px]]  '''Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice Described As ''The Big Lebowski'' Meets ''The Long Goodbye'''''<br />This April 15, 2014 update on Paul Thomas Anderson's adaptation of ''Inherent Vice'' really whets the appetite! ''The Big Lebowski'' meets ''The Long Goodbye''... What's not to like?<br />'''Audience member of an early screening:''' \"Mix together ''The Big Lebowski'' and Altman\u2018s ''The Long Goodbye'', turn it into a two-and-a-half hour PT Anderson epic and you\u2019re getting close to the awesome experience of ''Inherent Vice''. Even Joaquin Phoenix\u2018s performance has echoes of 70\u2032s Elliot Gould with a touch of The Dude. But don\u2019t get me wrong, this film is its own animal. A drug-fueled detective story filled with great psychedelic music and beautiful, grainy cinematography, it\u2019s both hilarious and confounding at times. But Anderson does an incredible job of making the incredibly complex plot both comprehensible and entertaining. Even though he\u2019s apparently said he\u2019s still tinkering, it felt like a finished film and will definitely go down as one of my favorites of his.\"\n\n[http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Paul-Thomas-Anderson-Inherent-Vice-Described-Big-Lebowski-Meets-Long-Goodbye-42566.html Read the article...]\n\n<p style=\"clear:both\"></p><p style=\"clear:both\"></p>\n\n[[image:logo-LondonReview.gif|left]] '''\"Call It Capitalism\" by Thomas Jones, for the ''London Review of Books''''', is a thoughtful, knowledgeable and insightful review of ''Inherent Vice'', linking it to Pynchon's themes from ''The Crying of Lot 49'' to ''Mason & Dixon''.
