Why do you think this push to cancel Pynchon that’s just beginning is coming from the left rather than right? Especially considering Pynchon has been a major supporter of racial rights?

Why are leftists turning on him? He even wrote an essay against racism.

Pynchon will rightly be the only intellectual connected with postmodernism to be remembered.

What was that?

>Keep cool, but care.
>They are in love. Fuck the war.
> If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers.

Oh absolutely.

I’m sorry, what was that?

>Keep cool, but care

That’s the philosophy I live my life by.

He was seething because he knew just as he had ascended to GOAT status an american would be coming along to take the throne.

>Why is leftist literature so ug—
Get cucked, polcel.

Explain to me why your favorite writer is better than mine (pic rel) so I can buy a book from yours and learn about some great literature

>Best writer of women of all time
You were saying?

>Shakespeare is the GOAT of the English language
What was that?

1. secular humanism / philosophical postmodernism
2. pynchon, gaddis, wallace
3. Gravity’s rainbow, the recognitions, the pale king

When Infinite Jest came out and people were hailing it as the greatest novel since GR and DFW as a generational genius, do you think Pynchon ever got even just a little bit worried DFW was coming for his throne?

>Dante truly is the greatest writer of all time.
Nah, Pynchon mogs him.

DFW’s problems was he knew he couldn’t live up to the greatest writer ever and the one whom he was constantly, to his mental detriment, compared to.

Honestly feel sorry for McCuckney and Cuckner fags. Try being a fanboy for a REAL author.

Um…

What book first got you Pynched by the Pynchmeister? For me it was Inherent Vice. I was much more of a film buff before and when I heard PTA was adapting it I had to check it out. After taking my first Pynchpill I became much more of a book guy.

A man who read the Pynchmeister, a-and did his best to reach the Pynch’s lofty heights, but failed, natch. Many such cases. Sad.

There’s only one man’s works you need to read to understand the full width and breadth of man’s knowledge, of all the arts, sciences, phillosophy.

Take the Pynchpill.

Is, always has been, and always will be even despite trying to hide from fame.

There’s only one man’s works you need to read to understand the full width and breadth of mas knowledge, of all the arts, sciences, phillosophy.

Take the Pynchpill.
