Gravity's Rainbow is way better than Mason & Dixon. I don't get why Harold Bloom says otherwise.
They're both great for very different reasons. Personally I enjoy M&D the most out of all of Tommy P's works because it has the most "heart". You know, like that South American faggot from Captain Planet.
>>25403495It has the most heart, but, honestly, who reads Pynchon for the heart? I read Pynchon for paranoia, conspiracies, physics and engineering, and looney toons comedy.
>>25403495Have you read pic related? Probably the biggest single influence on M&D and well worth a read on its own.
>>25403585I've read it, and I like it a lot more than M&D
>>25403585Thanks for the suggestion
>>25403453L take dude. One is one of the greatest piece of fiction written while another is one guy getting boners in world war 2.
>>25403585Yes and I loved it too.
>>25403453The real truthpill is understanding that Inherent Vice and Bleeding Edge are his best.
Havent read m&d yet but gravitys rainbow was a fantastic read and hilarious though honestly challenging >>25403584Why not both theres heart in gr
>>25403585>Been there done that!

>>25403607>greatest piece of fiction ever writtenare we still talking about pynchon here?
Gravity's Rainbow: Hey, remember when the bad guys in world war two are the same as the bad guys today?Mason & Dixon: Hey, remember when the bad guys in the civil ware are the same as the bad guys today?But yeah, Gravity's Rainbow is "better" in that the more recent bad guys are slightly more relevant.
>>25404681Yes
>>25403584I do. Underneath all his masks and bombast, Pynchon is sentimental as fuck, even corny.
>>25403585Would he get away with it now?
