That's also the plot of Homeward Bound (1993), and that's the best movie I've ever seen in my life, so this thread has convinced me to read Pynchon

It's the hero's journey, and it went over your head

Try it, but despite what the reddit millennial people on here tell you he's talented but insists on always being extremely tedious.

Pynchon books have plots? I've never been able to make sense of any of them. It's like Joyce was reincarnated as a retarded hippie.

Based Pynch exploring the complexities of standard narrative structure.

OP if you've ever been drunk or otherwise intoxicated alone in an unfamiliar city in the wee small hours I think you would realise that Pynchon's plots are modelled with an alarming accuracy on the base, shrieking, miserable condition of man.
