>>24854917Gravity's Rainbow
>>24854970Isn't that based on world war 2 or some real world gay shit like that?
>>24854970is it actually good? sounds pseud heaven from google>Dense allusions and references:Pynchon saturates the text with allusions to science, history, and pop culture, which can be overwhelming, especially if you're unfamiliar with the topics. Encyclopedic and maximalist style:The book is often described as an "encyclopedic novel" because it incorporates a huge amount of information, from quantum mechanics to metaphysics, that seems to be deliberately included to create a complex, overwhelming experience
>>24855073Sounds like faggot shit
>>24855086desu more I read of his books I am tempted to pick some up just because Im bored and want some sprawling books to readi liked Murakami and it sounds similarly midbrow pulp
>>24854917100 years of solitude
>>24855073Nah, everything considered widely to be among the greatest accomplishments in literature is shit. You're right; reading isn't worthwhile at all. Contrarianism is the only way to live.
>>24854917John Hawkes was a gleeful anti-realist still ahead of his time. His work sustains the unpredictability you seek without compromising style or literary irony.
>>24854977There's also that one time Tyrone (white) escaped from nigger rape by jumping down the toilet, that one time he saved a girl from an octopus and that one time a Sherman tank crashed a party.
>>24855370I'm not OP, but that sounds interesting. I downloaded the Beetle Leg and I'll give it a read soon. I'll rec the Voyeur by Alain Robbe-Grillet to you, which I read recently due to a mention on /lit/; not anti-realist, but the narrative is circuitous and heavy with symbolism that repeats through various objects and scenes. Now I'm reading In the Labyrinth and also enjoying it. Not sure if either of these would really appeal to OP, but oh well.
