Man, just read Pynchon instead. He was here yesterday, even posted some of his private correspondence.

>> No.13292004

The book is good and he writes about posting here in that book.

>> No.13292025

>>13291780

Yes. He used to post here very early on when 4chan was totally different.

It's Tao's best novel so far. It's pretty good if you like 80's minimalism. He did a good job bringing that aesthetic into the aughts.

I don't think it's a great novel but it's not a promising one.

It's pretty shit. Shallow characters, no plot, literally nothing interesting about it.

is this Pynchon writing about V? do you have the context for this?

>> No.13293372

it felt stylistically repellant at first. but about twenty pages into reading, my girlfriend and I broke up rather suddenly, and the prose became kind of hypnotic and only amplified the sort of millenial-ennui trying to find love themes.

>> No.13293752

>>13293361
It is indeed, but I have no context for it. Someone posted it in a V. thread a day or two ago, got a few replies, but never responded to them. This is the first time I've seen it, I wish the poster would elaborate on it.

Millennials are awful people, and here's why: the book

>> No.13293856

>>13293752
yeah, it was really cool to read even without the context. i should try to track down more of pynch's letters, he has had such an interesting career and legacy that i'm curious to hear him reflect on it more

Tao, can you please tell Megan I'm sorry? I came here from shitty boards and assumed all the astroturfing and chat room-coordinated shitposting was rampant here too. I said things I shouldn't have. She's one of the good guys. I wish her the best and love her work.
