you guys ever read this one? http://www.lrb.co.uk/v18/n14/d

notable excerpt:

>Pynchon does have his admirers, and he also has his followers, or people who are labelled his followers, and they do keep cropping up. I think there’s more than a little Pynchon floating around John Kennedy Toole, whose A Confederacy of Dunces is a book nearly as bloated as its protagonist; Don DeLillo’s social, um, satires owe more than a little to Pynchon’s work; and in a recent essay in Harper’s magazine the young novelist Jonathan Franzen declares Pynchon a personal hero. David Foster Wallace moves beyond admiration to adulation – if not, to put it more plainly, outright imitation. It is, in fact, a virtuoso performance that has eclipsed its progenitor: Wallace out-Pynchons Pynchon, and his third book, Infinite Jest, may well be the first novel to out-Gravity’s Rainbow Gravity’s Rainbow.

Not OP, but if you post tfwnogf inducing pics, people will bump your thread if it doesn't go well by itself
webm's of car accidents or animals killing themselves also work, on red boards

That's probably the whole point honestly

>In May 2011, Peck's criticism of Jewish-American literature in which he claimed "[I]f I have to read another book about the Holocaust, I’ll kill a Jew myself" prompted a public outcry. His editors later removed the statement from his article.[7]

Dale Peck confirmed for a God

>Given a choice between pathos and bathos, Pynchon errs on the side of farcical melodrama again and again (and again), and while I admire him for his efforts to undermine traditional narrative tyranny with humour rather than resorting to a Barth-style hatchet job, all four of his novels offer the same one-dimensional commentary on contemporary US society, and, in the end, a thirty-year writing career hasn’t produced a single memorable or even recognisably human character.

Pic related-ed. What a fucking hack.

>>7712550
That's not a trap.

Why do Jews hate comedy?

>>7712781
she looks like one of those girls who was """"raped"""" by her ex or smth desu

>>7712804
Virtually half of famous American stand up comedians have Jewish blood.

Jews tend to be sensitive about antisemitism, I don't know, because of the multimillenial persecution thing

A shallow reader, diving for a few pearls in one of the richest ecosystems in the world. (At least regarding Pinecone. I could give a fuck what he says about Wallace.)

>>7712817
That joke was not antisemitic. It was against other books on the holocaust.
