Memes aside, Pynchon strikes me as a guy who is a turbo-leftwing Christian. Like James Martin tier but some kind of Anglican because he's too cerebral for Protestantism.

They're called Episcopalians, last service I went to included a rebuttal of Greg Abbott's ideas on gender. I don't really know what church to go to instead of the one I was baptized and confirmed in.

Do you take anything at all away from the books you read in reducing them to such banal generalities? Why would you bother reading at all?

are you new to /lit/? this is how we do things: someone posts a hot take, often wrong, and we all verify that we read and understood the text by correcting them. if colleges used this format for college admissions exams we'd be going to elite schools. too bad they do not.
