Will getting facial surgery to look like Thomas Pynchon help me write like him?

asked and answered better by Pynchon

>Tharaldsen says she saw Pynchon’s IQ score, somewhere in the 190s.

Video games are just low-culture but plenty of great writers were interested in low culture.

Pynchon even alludes to Kojima
“Only the framing material," Lucas demurely, "obvious influences, Neo-Tokyo from Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Metal Gear Solid by Hideo Kojima, or as he's known in my crib, God.”

he's a poor man's Ned Pointsman

Those pics just don't look right. I know they are but pics like pic related are the only ones I can associate with Pynchon. I wish I'd never seen the newer ones so that I only had these mysterious black and white photos of young Tommy to go off.

Where do I start with him

He's basically irl ned pointsman imho

ITT: writers who are better than Tolstoy

>Salinger is the only original voice in Literature in the last half-century.

Is he worth getting into, and if yes, with which book do I start?
Are polish translations fine or do I obligatorily go for english versions? Not that it's much of a problem, other than avaibility/price.

*holds up runcible spoon*

What should I start with, V. or Lot 49?

How do you faggots read this guys crap? I've just tried reading 4 different books of his and had to stop. Fucking awful, how is this shite classed as literature? After seeing this trash, I will stick with things written prior to world war 2, or even the 20th century, thank you very much.
