OR you think your audience is garbage. Which is literally fine. In fact, that's your best option. Otherwise you're totally asleep at the wheel and so self abscessed you can't tell how your words would interact with the mind of someone else.

What is your philosophy about writing, generally? I'm genuinely curious. And legitimately impressed you wrote a whole fucking book.

it's my least favorite of his, a HUGE step down if you've only read GR and Mason & Dixon, none of the fragmentary or abstract storytelling of Gravity's Rainbow, not nearly as beautifully written or well researched as Mason & Dixon, not even on par with his lesser works like Inherent Vice or Vineland - but still a pretty good read on its own merits.

it reads like a floaty satirical pulp crime/political thriller with a little 2000's cyberpunk in there. if you like late william gibson, the deus ex video games or matrix-era cyberthrillers and don't go in expecting anything high-level pynchon you'll probably enjoy it.

The third is already published under a pseudonym. Written in the style of an insufferable 1980's 'grunge' child it was called "Infinite Jest" and is generally considered the worst of the trilogy because Pynchon took the author character a little too seriously resulting in the book itself being childish, self serious, boring, and ultimately unreadable. Acknowledging his failure, Pynchon killed off the author character.

I know this is jokery, but the V. and GR (V2) thing I think has some validity for real
