Fuck the memes, man, Pynchon is the greatest American writer, period.

you honestly couldn't compare the two on the same scale without overlooking everything that makes either of them great

He's definitely in the highest caliber, I don't know about best.

I will say though, that I think McCarthy more consistently writes better books, but that Pynchon's best are absolutely incredible.

Pynchon = more ambitious and more clever than McCarthy, that's pretty much undeniable. You can personally prefer McCarthy but you can't deny that.
