/lit/ - Literature

Let’s be honest, you’re the same guy who’s been creating a new GR and or Pynchon thread everyday because you most likely just finished reading him and it blew your mind but your friendless and have no one else to talk to. I’m glad you liked the book, I love it as well, read it 6 times. But it’s kind of weird that you keep doing this.

Pynchon is a most exquisite writer, with excellent form and execution. What I enjoy most littered throughout his oeuvre are the flubs, wiles, jests and general horseploay. His literary masterpieces are full to the brim of these things. Every novel analogous to those Marxian (Grouch, mind) boxes which you open and, surprise, surprise! You've now received a black eye from a spring loaded boxing glove and you fall back doubled over not with pain but with laughter. Wow, such genius. Every bit as provocative as modern American celebrities. You get to stroking your beard and you think what could he possibly do next, this most subtle of comedians, Thomas Pynchon. So you get back to reading and it is as though you receive an electric shock of a nonlethal but otherwise frightening sort and, by Jove, you've been had again by that old Master of pinching, Pynchon, the pincher of readers.

"Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing like Disney's most memorable canine. Behold as he dons a set of joke glasses twitching the moustache left and right, bouncing the eyebrows, "I really do get ahead of myself." Out with the mirror like stately plump Buck Mulligan. "Mmm, yes!" stroking his aged lips sensually. And wouldn't you know it? You're on rear end again, in absolutely religious tears, a caustic Gnostic experience, laughing so hard you begin to wheeze, as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.

POOPOOPEEPEE

I absolutely MUST assert that Pynchon is an absolutely FABULOUS writer, because my absolute FAVORITE thing in a book is a goof, a gag, a joke, silly and boyish behavior, which his books are FULL to the BRIM of. Every novel of his is like an absolutely gorgeous novelty snake can, in which you open the book and (Pop!) you get a face absolutely FULL of snakes, and you fall back absolutely cackling at the MADMAN, the CRACK genius that he is to do it! And you think to yourself, "Hmmm, what will he do next, this absolutely gorgeous trickster," and you pick the book up again and (Shock!) you get a shock, and (Hahaha!!!) you've been pranked again by that absolute PYNCHmeister, that absolute card to do it! "Did that PYNCH, mademoiselle?" he asks, mistaking your gender again like all those nasty boys at school do, laughing that fantastic laugh of his that goes, "Yukyukyuk!" Look at that card as he shoves a pair of plastic buckteeth right up into his handsome mouth and shows them to you like the absolute madman that he is (left, right, and center). "Do you like these, mademoiselle? Does it make me look handsome?" He pulls out a fantastic mirror, and "Ah!" he says, with a hand to his absolutely NAUGHTY mouth, and you've fell on your tush again laughing with sheer hysterical laughter as he snaps his suspenders, leaves, then comes back again carrying an absolutely fabulous golden huge gong.

That's kind of rich coming from someone who still uses an imageboard in current year.

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT TOM. YOU BETTER REPENT BY THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOUR FUCKING POSTS.

This is unironically writen by Pynchon to make it look like someone is writing like him.

I'm extremely lucky to have irl friends to discuss Pynchon and Gravity's Rainbow with, but it's not the same as discussing it here lol. This is way more fun.

Did you meet them at Uni? My friends read Gass and some other Pynchon, but not GR.
