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 even admitted himself he just shit this out while he was le high. Complete nonsense, waste of time.

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.
