>inventor of the cock
>>25180807>inventor of the quarkAnyway, it just so happened that he lived in a period where computer/internet usage was not so integrated and needed for proper functioning in urban society. You shouldn't mistake this correleation for the very reason that he was good at writing obscurantist non-canonical novels for midwits.
>>25180807>inventor of the quark>greatest writer at the time of his deathPynchon is still kicking, I don’t think he’s as good as what other people think, but he’s better than McCarthy. Not a fierce competition in the 2020s regardless.
