Los Soria by Thomas Pynchon. Anonymous Sat Dec 19 22:35:57 2020 No.17073065 [Reply] [Original]

Is this truly the Gravity’s Rainbow of Latin America?

>The only contemporary writer I can compare him to is Thomas Pynchon: The Sorias is the Gravity’s Rainbow of Latin America. On more than one occasion I was compelled to interrupt my reading, get up from the desk and take a dazed walk around the room in sheer disbelief: what the hell have I just read? Nothing prepares you for the weirdness of this book.

I'm sick of you faggots putting us in the same bag. Latin America is a group of 20 or more countries, we don't have anything to do we each other beyond language and religion. Laiseca is argentinian!

POR NECIOS COMO USTEDES LA HISPANIDAD FUE DESINTEGRADA, Y ES VIOLADA DIARIAMENTE.

EL VITUPERIO ES FÁCIL Y BARATO, MAS LA NECEDAD DE LA QUE EMANA ES ONEROSA Y CARA.

In spanish, I imported the books from Argentina to my country. He's a hidden giant, his crazy lines of narrative, his ridiculous characters are a bit pynchonian (I read GR this year and read SL some years ago) but Laiseca is way more trasgressive, he goes way over the top in a good way, he pushes the boundaries of human perversion and dark fantasy. He's unique, I'll tell you that. One of my favs

This sounds so crazy dude. I thought this was only a meme from the chans, but really this book is very appealing.

I was about to recommend you this book (pic related) some anon recommended me weeks ago in a SpGT as something similar to what Pynchon does. It's not nearly as crazy as the plot of Los Sorias, but it is also a very baroque, challenging and well-written book which is almost never talked about. I'm almost halfway through it.
