many thoughts on this book (positive) on themes and the like. it’s a shame thomas pynchon will most likely pass sometime in the next ten years or so and we then have to be stuck with rebecca yarros and that god awful fourth wing shit. what is coming out today that’s going to be talked about 50-60-100 years later. a little life? some crap from andy reid? i hope not. i don’t know anything. i’m a fool. foolish

Absolutely filtered for the past two weeks by the Stencil chapters. I get the point of their existence as the appearances of the V. and a narrative connector to past and current versions like the V mirror structure but also they’re oh so long. Where is Pig Bodine I say. I miss Pig Bodine.

“He got that feeling now. Here in this room an old man had killed and boiled a catechumen, had committed sodomy with a rat, had discussed a rodent nunhood with V., a future saint — depending which story you listened to.”

Three chapters of a debut novel have more substance than some authors entire careers.

Always a different concept. Rockets and Physics, Maxwell’s Demon and Thermodynamics, Computer Science and Television, and the Daisy Chain and Electrical Engineering.

Some reheated Nabokov nachos. Khia author Thomas Pynchon.

Love the focus on V. as a concept, of similar and different. Receiving and Transmitting. Electricity.

Has WASP/Catholic background Thomas Pynchon earned his honorary Jewish status?

I’d say so but i can’t really decide that.
