This book sucked shit and anyone that claims they liked it is a midwit and a poseur. You're better off reading a YA novel because at least you'll get a comprehensible story out of it.
I feel this way about War and Piss. What the fuck do people see in it?
>>25328703Amen. It’s an example of how something confusing and complex is mistaken to be genius and deep just because people can’t grasp what it is about.
Three retards got filtered
>>25328759Tippy pibby
>>25328703I don’t even care about the story, the writing is absolutely grating. It’s proto Reddit fart sniffing obnoxiousness. Pynchon is clearly brilliant but instead of translating his brilliant mind to the average man he’s doing gay ass linguistic acrobatics to show everyone how smart he is instead of saying anything remotely meaningful.
>>25328748<Pic attached> is a similar case. You get lots of people claiming that incoherence is really profundity.
>>253288174 retards
>>25328759I know you think that you’re just smarter than all the people who called it unreadable, turgid and overwritten.
>>25328866I don't read books by pedophile NAMBLA rapists
>>25328703hehe literally
>>25328717it's a fun romp
>>25328847What're you talking about he speaks truth to Globohomo, it's just as relevant today
>>25328703>I didn't understand it, therefore it's incomprehensible
>>25329063what teh fug
>everyone that isn't a retard like me is a poserWhen did this board turn into such a low IQ shithole?
>>25330027I think I accidentally brought some twitter people here a few months ago
>>253300272018
>>25328703It’s wading through an ocean of shit in literary form. Or what it would be like at least. All of the pointless characters are nothing more than effigies of fecal matter.
>>25329071Yeah dude globohomo hates le quirky sex-and-poop prose comics and lurid descriptions of sex with twelve-year-olds. That‘ll show 'em.
>>25332029lmao read the book nigger
>>25328717more like Whore and Piss
>>25330047Personal incredulity just means you trust your own taste more than the opinion of a consensus.
>>25328703This article proposes that Thomas Pynchon’s 1973 novel Gravity’s Rainbow be read not in terms of the entropic but the diasporic. Such a reading departs from a postmodernist reading of the novel and enable the following three claims: first, that the very form of the novel is diasporic and Jewish as is its vision of colonial modernity; second, that the violence of this modernity embodied in the Holocaust is metonymically continuous with the violence of colonialism; and third, that the novel permits a recasting of the Jewish question in terms of empire, migration, and violence as opposed to terms of nation and rights. Pynchon’s novel offers a counternarrative of Jewishness in the postwar era. In lieu of familiar narratives of assimilation, prosperity, and nationhood, Pynchon’s novel suggests Jewish belonging, or the Jewish question, remains as not just a vexing problem but a ubiquitous and universal one of the postwar order whose emergence it describes.Studies in American Jewish Literature (1981-) (2025) 44 (1): 18–43.
>>25328703Nah it was great, you got filtered.
>>25332029>lurid descriptions of sex with twelve-year-olds.if you read closely, you'd realize the girl was either 16 or 17 based on the timeline given, she just dressed in lolita style in her cabaret show, so you got baited into thinking Slothrop is a pedo because you're low IQ and couldn't follow it.
>>25334615nobody cares pinchon
>>25328703It's a pity, because I really like the first section, but beyond that, other than the Pokler section, I don't care much for it.
>>25328875You know what else is unreadable, turgid, and overwritten? The huge shit I took on your mother's forehead.
