Pynch

I bet that when a new Pynch comes out, the title, or the first country, will read a combination of the words "paranoia," "Trump's America," and "fake news." Like, "Pynchon was the first to predict the paranoia of Trump's America that we now see online. For example, trolling sites like 4chan..."

I wouldn't be surprised if Pynch himself was suffering from TDS these days... or maybe I'm underestimating him?

posts like this tell you that reading the greeks doesn't explain the current world and that people who visit this meme board daily are not satisfied with the outdated content that keeps getting recommended to everyone, no one here has any clue about what's really going on outside this echo-chamber

I don't think so, but I ask about Pynch and modern media.

So?

and you do that because you expected this board to recommend something relevant, something they seem alergic to, preferring instead to live in the past

Offers helpful insights into the history of Pynchon scholarship over the decades, recontextualizes older and newer Pynchon within Information Age politics, aesthetics, etc. and Harold Bloom is nowhere to be found

What's with this guy and that V rocket fetish? He uses that same shit in at least three books. And why the hell he's so "celebrated"? I feel like in a, not so long ago time, hacks had it easier to hook people onto their "original ideas". Today looking back at some of those /product//ideas they look almost childish.

Whatever they write in politically opposite medium.

He was rocket engineer and worked with von Braun tech. It was moral problem for him.
