Nothing but druggie babbling. When I read someone like Joyce, or Faulkner, I know I will be rewarded for putting in the effort to understand the more cryptic or difficult passages. Even if I do not at first fully comprehend a passage, their writing is beautiful and thought-provoking. But this is just schizophrenic babbling.

Pynchon's entire metaphysical exploration of life and death cycles amounts to an eschaton, a cosmic battle between Orphism and Gnosticism, in which man's liberation from darkness is predicated on the legalisation of medical-grade marijuana and the banning of assault weapons.
