feels very silly to still have 350 pages to go when i’m already convinced this is among the greatest novels i have ever read. in none of Pynchon’s novels has his scope been wider than in this one: what was it like staring down the barrel of capitalism’s and imperialism’s emergent, destructive power, to be a cog in their new machines (literal and metaphorical), and know there was nothing to be done to stop it?

i’m in for an absolute walloping (Pynchon’s neverending sentences in the prose of the 18th century) and i could not be more excited lol
