How does one create such a complex narrative and storyline?

Not so much asking as marveling at the fact that one man conceptualized this entire story in his head and more or less published it to paper. It wasn't my favorite book but I am highly impressed with him
the imagination in the story and words, it just worked
anyway also Crying of Lot 49 general if it will get more responses

I think it's the only book that Ruggle-Snuggles himself has disowned.

Something I noticed OP is that this book is almost written like a "fugue" or fractal in that the whole is conveyed in the portions repeatedly and with varying weight. I also like the murkiness of the book that may not have been intentional but really adds to the mental fog and confusing paranoia that the story has going on. I'm torn on whether most of the events happened or if Oedipa is just losing her mind.

One things I'm not sure I understood was the Jacobean revenge play. An anon on here had told me it was intentionally contrived and served to show the breakdown of communication, and I know it's sort of a macguffin and retelling of the story writ large, but I can't be certain.

Read more Pynchon OP. And Borges.

There are also parallels to Hamlet here - the play within a "play"
