inb4 OP in 24 hours:
>Hey guys Pynchon is GOAT, that goes without saying. But I'm so confused toughbeit.. things are just happening? Is there even a plot? In V there's just a bunch of shit happening? And I can't remember anyone's names? Is Pig Bodine the key to all this?

Absolutely fucking insane debut novel. But allow yourself to be confused. Read slowly. Things will unfurl with a little bit of effort, a little bit of surrender.

It really is just a bunch of pynchon tropes thrown at the wall. PTA is good, but kind of just a rich man's Nolan I guess.

I don't see how this can be construed as an insult. Obviously he's not on the level of one of the greatest novelists in American lit but he's a great filmmaker

In regards to the whole ouevre, Impromptu dance sequences and looney tunes-esque whimsy about parapolitics and 19th and 20th century horrors

Absolutely retarded and nothing after Vineland is worth reading

Reading ATD…how is he so prescient? His writings seem to line up with r/Aliens regarding the Aether, free (zero point) energy, multi dimensional beings and travel, alien overlords,global elite … I could go on and on.

The re-writes of Under the Rose and the scenes in Italy were absolutely kino.
