I can't believe I'm not done yet but here we are. The book isn't fun. Yet I kind of have a magical feeling about it. There's something about Pynchon's mythological portrayal of pre WW2 Europe that feels so relatable. The book is seeped with dread that something awful is coming. The mythology kind of makes me feel like it's an attempt to cope with the reality.

There's a point where objects start vanishing in thin air and no one in the story knows if it is a trick or real magic but it certainly FEELS like real magic. In Shadow Ticket there's so many bizarre things happening that you don't up from down. I think I read Pynchon because he perfectly captures that feeling of being completely out of control of your own life with his use of hyper-reality. Enjoying it so far.
