its his self-admitted worst work, and frankly the only people who like it are imbeciles who claim to like pynchon for the supposed prestige but are a bit too dumb to read one of his good books

I watched, perched on a tree limb, while two young Native Americans and two negro slaves defiled a young buck. They spit-roasted the deer and fucked its skull after he died, again and again cumming into her eye sockets. I remember thinking to myself “this, this truly is Democracy In America

Cmon Alexis, how fucking corny can you possibly be!?? Jeez lo wheez. Talk about predictable. I could’ve seen the deer fucking coming from a mile away!

>And so I did spend many years searching, looking for, perusing every single problem, every single particle of my brain in the hopes that I would finally, after so much profound toil, after so many decades of excruciatingly difficult mental examination, walk the very first definitive steps in the fire-paved road towards the secret diamond of the mind. Never give up! I told myself. And give up I never did, and kept striving for my manifest destiny when one morning, just as the cocks were singing in the backyard and I was having another one of my soul-investigating armchair sessions, something strange suddenly struck me, which I was left aghast when I saw, for it was nothing less than the very Critique of Pure Reason that I had so often dreamed about.

and I'm the first guy. the rest of the book is fun as shit. if you can't sit back and enjoy the wild ride then you don't deserve the greater Pynchons.
