have you only been here for a week? its one determined autist shitposting. you are probably him

>>20610878
This is just plain wrong. In 2016, there were constant memes of Pynchon. Just check the warosu archive and there’s just as many before then. And that’s the tea sister.

>>20610885
maybe he thinks he's over the newfag mountain, but he's simply on the foothills

>>20610885
that was the same guy who just woke back up. Im no newfag I was here before pepe. GR sucks ass

>>20610968
seethe newfag

>>20610857
because he's one of us

>>20610968
When did you read it? Did you read the companion? Stop jocking us dawg

>>20610974

>>20610857
Honestly, the only people who say this shit either got filtered because they started with GR, or they have never read him and know they will get filtered if they do

>>20610986
He’s trying to write for the masses too. That’s why he wanted GR in paperback and not hardcover. I don’t know why people don’t get him…

pynch.. easy on the threads

>>20610995
le funny sentence structures

Why is Gravity's Rainbow good?

>>20611016
Uh, are you retarded? He’s very easy to le follow.

>>20611027
What are the first pages of gravity's rainbow about, then. Walk us through it. What is the screaming coming across the sky? You have no idea about the faces either... do you?

>>20611034
The screaming is obviously a rocket lmao. The faces are the evacuees.
>The caravan has halted. It is the end of the line. All the evacuees are ordered out.
It’s obvious from the exposition. You really need to read more. You can’t get past the first page. Damn.

>>20611046
These people literally need a companion book to hold there hand while they read haha

>>20610857
Gravity’s Rainbow is the most entertaining book I’ve read

>>20610857
Because he's a cheeky fucker.

>>20611046
>a rocket
No. We know what buzzbombs sound like. We know the V2 doesn't scream. So what are you talking about haha.

I'm asking about the VIP faces. Why are you answering a different question, one that is clear? A caravan. Wow.

>>20611055
it clears it up a lot actually
you read it before you read the book
it's actually pretty enjoyable if you're a litfag
but most ppl here come off as pseuds idk

Why are people so obsessed with "getting" something anyway? I just jam with it.

>>20611089
Because it is good to know what you like.

>>20611089

>>20611023
complex poetics and some conspiracy stuff

>>20611067
yes.

>>20611046
>The screaming is obviously a rocket lmao.
uh, oh boy, hrm...

>>20611067
I've read GR, Crying of Lot 49, and finished Mason & Dixon all in June, he's really not that hard to understand once you get with his rhythm, unless you just read YA all the time, then you might wanna try something more your speed.

>>20611326

He was on tv show Simpsons.

PYNCHED

>>20611046
It’s a siren you dolt. At least know what you’re talking about.

>>20613765
Damn. Is that really him? Do you have the ones of him and Farina fencing? I think they’re acting out something they wrote.

>>20613765
no wonder he hid in the woods for like 20 years his face looks jacked up was it botched plastic surgery or what

>>20613765

>>20613765
>>20613821
That's Jordan Peterson lol

>>20613853
lol

I got filtered by M&D and I don't know why. Pretty boring besides some 4 chapters. I couldn't even get the themes or the "grand message" behind it. Some anon talked about a conspiracy to control the world or something and I have no idea what he was talking about. Wtf

>>20610857
We don’t.

>>20613881
Heavily filtered

>>20615288
>we

>>20611089
Same. As I read GR I just took it sentence by sentence, if I got it I got it if I didn't I didn't and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I plan on reading it again.

m&d was peak pynch

>>20611089
horrifyingly based

>>20617177
Mid pinecone is mid

>>20617177

now its be + iv to ??? it's going to be THE blowout of literature and the savior of it as well
even if i have to write it

>>20613765
At first glance I thought he was wearing comically oversized pants and pulling out the waistband
