Just finished AtD.

It is great but it severely lacks great memorable scenes (e. g. compared to GR). I think that's why nobody ever talks about this book on /lit/ despite being an essential Pynchon.

What are your favorite scenes?

This started so great with the Chicago World Fair and the Chums of Chance, seemed like a coherent narrative.

150 pages later:
- adventures in some sort of hollow earth
- a monster from the arctic has destroyed a city
- everyone is an anarchist

eh.

Why can't Pynchon write straight narratives?
