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
