Pynchon describes everything in such specific detail that he ends up in run-on sentences and I lose track of what we were initially even talking about. I understand that’s the entire point of this hazy private-eye mystery but it works inconsistently for me.

Interesting that the Vegas chapter isn’t in the movie. I can o ly imagine PTA didn’t wanna explore Vegas again after making “Hard Eight”

I barely ever can keep up with what’s going on and I think that’s the point.

The seemless transitions from first to third person and back are swift

Pinchon does a fantastic job of making me feel like I’m tripping balls with them

All of the descriptions of scenes and characters’ actions and movements and details of the environment are so vivid and puts me right in the room. However, the dialogue is pretty hard to follow along, mostly cause they’re all stoned. It makes me feel stoned myself, which I think is the point.
