hmmm

Once the Pynchmeister's wiki said he was married to Heidi Honeycutt (it's been changed back to Melanie Jackson since), so I did some searching online and the source was probably a joke in Honeycutt's IMDb profile. I was kind of surprised at first, thinking the Pynch got married again at 79.

That's all I got

Pynchon > Joyce

He just repeats a lot of stuff, over and over again.

The only book of his I could stomach was "Empire of Illusion"; where the topic was so broad (everything between porn and college) that I didn't notice his repeating.

Compared to Death of the Liberal Class (pre-WWII community theater was the height of the labor movement in the US), and War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning (I say I've been to like ten war zones, but really I've only had extensive experience in Bosnia), Illusion is like a godsend that might as well been ghostwritten.

Knowledge should be free.

I really hope you don't burden yourself down with material possessions for some nebulous idea of consumerist virtue.

Step 1: Compare face to an animal.
Step 2: Pair that animal with a few adjectives (Mousey yet soft, etc.)
Step 3: Only describe it once - the shorter the better.

Only do this if it's adequately relevant. I'm not one of those "less is more, edit out everything that isn't plot" types but facial descriptions are so rarely good or worthwhile feeling

>>9523370

generic for the face you want but always give the hair color, people fill in the rest with people they've seen with that hair color

so you're thinking it will look a lot like this?

I think we will have another war, but I'm not sure what the causes would be nor how bad the consequences would be

>>9522915
Wealth will be even more concentred, consumer's and civil's right will be even more limited
Entertainment will be even more efficient, meaning that the general population's attention span will get even worse
More racism and more polarization
More soulless art, the public for said art will shrink even more

Generally, it will be a uglier, more boring word, unless you're a soulless dummy.
