>>15284327
Okay redd*t

>>15285042
Haha reddit le epic insult. Kys Pynchfag.

>>15284327
I see youve read the first hundred pages of GR, gave up, then started disparaging Pynchon in an attempt to make yourself feel better about you mot liking the thing people say is good

>>15285106
This. It's so obvious when someone has read the first little bit of GR.
>hurr bananas!!!!!

Tranny shills, start with the Crying of Lot 49

>>15284252
>they surely taught you many fancy words in the yo-yo factory, Mr Pinchie

>>15282183
He will be missed!

>>15282183
These threads are a vehicle for Megan Boyle to hone her Adobe skills. Mr. Pynchon is doing quite well.

You will be missed!

>>15285135
I liked the first 100 pages because they were so insanely fucking weird
Little did I know how weird things would get

Super missed! >sez

>>15285833
Hey, this sounds fun

>>15285833
Anyone read this?

bump

>>15285760
Do you think we'll even get an announcement of he dies? I feel like he would want his death kept secret.

>>15286863
He's so steeped in mystery, whose to say he isn't writing now in an unpublishable phase, maybe loving the new borderless modes of a wise watcher, having given the pen name to some apostolic authors with a sense for something else to do with it, meanwhile, Mr. Pynchon has a new literary life composing what is reserved for posthumous writing, I think I worry most of all that Pynchon has begun or has already completed and holds in reserve a tome to break all tomes, a splitting of literary atoms, a cracked page, a corner perused, the eyes go wide, "too much, Mr. Pynchon, do you write for the Nephilim of human beings?"

>>15286863
He's so steeped in mystery, who is to say he is not gripped in penning toil for works deemed ahead of time as unpublishable, he'd maybe love the new borderless modes of a wise watcher, having given the immortal pen name to some apostolic authors with a sense for something shrewd to do with it, meanwhile, Mr. Pynchon is free to indulge in a new literary life, composing material wholly reserved for posthumous publishing, I think I worry most of all that Pynchon has begun or has already completed and holds in reserve a tome to break all tomes, a splitting of literary atoms, a cracked page, a corner perused, the eyes go wide, "too much, Mr. Pynchon, do you write for the Nephilim of human beings?" Or else he dumps on us not revelation but boggling puzzles to fuel the cackling wind of his ghostly spirit.

>>15282183
I love how other threads get deleted and shit like this stays up. Really shows it's the mods themselves making this shit.

>>15282183
I swear to God I saw an exact thread like this a few hours ago with like 200 replies and now it's back down to 38. new thread or purging of the old one?

>>15287153

Is this pasta

>>15287153
Maxine! Quick, take off your shoes!

>>15285833
I want to read this

>>15287236
Pynchon is an author tho

I've been reading V. and the sections set in the past are absolutely fantastic, but the ones set in (then) present time don't feel nearly as good. I just don't know if it's intentional, the present sections make me feel let down and dull, but I guess that's kinda what he's getting at with the whole inanimate thing. Before this, I've been reading Bolano, seems like everything I read in this quarantine is about slow and gradual decline.

Anyways it's fantastic and now after reading this and 49 maybe I'll finally risk it and touch the rocket book.

>>15284376
That man is Richard Bachman. He is Jewish.

RIP Thomas Pynchon poster is a tulpa.

>>15288069
I'm the opposite. I like the ones showing the degenerate present more. I think its because I find it more relatable.
I didn't really like the Fausto chapter. Monduagen's story kind of dragged on a bit at first but I liked them a lot more once he got to the compound.
Chapter 4 had a really interesting story telling concept with the multiple narrators.

chuck e cheese lookin' mofo

Tom, pshh, u cray but u cute

HAHAHHAHHAHAHAA LOOK AT THIS DUDE

>>15292274
Damn, are those Yeezy Slides????

>>15292277
Dunno

>>15282183
Mr. Pynchon, is there a "mission" you considered across your work or maybe one that cohered between a few publications, or have you been moreso driven by something more abstract? When you write, is the process a fulfillment of a philosophy or a pursuit of excellence?

>>15282183
Mr. Pynchon, how did having children affect your discipline as a writer?

Do you guys think that he will release another novel? Bleeding Edge was quite bad.

>>15292877
He's quite old, I don't know if he still has it in him. Maybe some unpublished works will surface after this death? But I wouldn't hope for any miracles, he doesn't seem like anyone who would hold back works.

>>15292888
>He's quite old
A bit of an understatement, no?

>>15292888
Am I gonna have to take the mantle?

>>15292904
jk
Read Evan Dara instead.

>>15292896
He is 82 no? Not that old.

>>15283431
that's actually a pretty funny article

>>15293064
You’re playing on hard mode in your 80s, even if you’ve been healthy up to that point.
90 is the best you can hope for if you’re in perfect shape. Anything beyond that is a fluke.

>Sez
Whoa, holy... I want more!

>>15282183
How do you like your eggs, Mr. Pynchon?

>>15295440
Burnt. I like the crisp.

>>15295877
Over well, charred? Or can you ask for them burnt in NYC?

>>15283352
>He's dead! Or so they say...

>>15296141
>Or so the Germans would have us believe

>>15296269
Tell the folks at home who Thomas Pynchon is

>>15296309
Is it Gravity's Rainbow where the story originates that a US president, having a fetish for lying prostrate beneath a large pane of glass atop where a lady straddles and then evacuates her bowels splattering onto the glass, the sickly cinema vivid and hyperreal for the lucky President below the protective lense of the glass
