Didn't liked LOt 49, will love GR? More info inside Anonymous Tue Jul 26 19:32:33 2016 No.8325343 [Reply] [Original]

Timothy Leary and others counterculture idols have loved GR, i feel like i must read it, but i gave Lot 49 a shot and it was just OK, radiohead seems to like it, so it was a huge let-down to me. But it wasn't that bad, i probably just didn't liked the useless plot complication that led nowhere, like so many Noir shit... but i have no problem with complicated stuff if it's like Illuminatus or others books that use that in a way it adds to the experience and you don't have to worry about linking the loose threads to find whoddunit or whatev, and in pynchon books it dosen't even seen to have a answer.

Anyways, i think i read somewhere that Pynchon didn't liked LOT 49?? that he forgot how to write and only remembered it on GR?7

w=halp

Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it. Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card. "Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.

Found it here ---> https://fuuka.warosu.org/lit/thread/S667543#p667573

I've been reading M&D lately, and it just astonishes me how jammed it is with obscure historical facts and references to records that could only be read had Pynchon traveled to libraries and offices in rural England and studied them for months. With >>8325760
I can imagine Pynchon reading about Tasso and references to towers and himself feeling like Oepida uncovering some literary conspiracy. SO MANY LAYERS WOW. Too bad I don't have a speck of interest in any of that /x/-/pol/ shit.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 27 00:13:57 2016 No.8326111 >>8326060 Read M&D recently, there's so much obscurity in there. Vollmann seems to research as much as Pynchon (and works at a much quicker pace), but Pynchon thinks about things in such a unique way.

Anonymous Wed Jul 27 11:24:25 2016 No.8327420

>>8327413
The crazy part is that the thread is believed many to be a thread which Pynchon posted in. Perhaps, the theory is written by Pynchon himself.

The theory itself isn't crazy but interesting. It has a valid response to a book that does not resolve cohesively.
