Disalogue is perhaps the biggest accomplishment of the book. Reads kinda like an occasionally elegant Pulp Fiction (see: "quotidian, quiescent")

I really like DL, and the fluidity of the storylines. Honestly, pretty approachable book.

I totally slept on the back half of this book when I first read it. The (re-)introduction of Mucho and the return of Zoyd are so good. Pynchon starts to show his opinions of the hippy movement in retrospect. The Brock chapter is also great, I must’ve completely blanked it out. I’ve finally reached a flow state with this reread and I’m really excited for the ending.
