>"Once I will say it, is all: that Crew does not live,

/lit/ worships Pynchon, who would spit in their faces.

C-could YOU spit in my face anon?

He wrote that book over 50 years ago. He's gotten a lot more sentimental since then.

>i hate people who read books
>and then they talk about books!
>wait...
That OP is trite and kinda embarrassing. Hard to believe Pynch was such a retard at one point.

>>9361382
It has nothing to do with reading. It was a disparaging remark about a group of half-assed beat-like "artists" who were all pseuds and drunk college kids.

>>9361421
Whatever the fuck. Reading or contemplating art or sculpture or music or whatever leads to conversation. If he's castigating the tone of that conversation according to what you say, then fine I guess.
But that doesn't seem to be what's going on.

>>9361433
There is no conversation. It's all posturing and pretense while they get drunk, have sex, and vaguely pretend to have artistic ambitions. Their "leader" was a guy who did nothing but paintings of cheese danishes. The rest of them didn't even do that much.

Read the book instead of guessing what one out of context quote is about.

The Crew were deadbeats. Interesting? Bohemian? Sure. But overall, the portrayed themselves as if they were of high esteem, legendary, renown and revered creators of great movements and art.

They weren't. They were just idiots. Basically /lit/, except they went outside, had friends, and had fun.

>>9361472
What the fuck is the point of the OP then?
I've read the book, like five years ago, I don't remember everything. It's entirely pointless to make this thread this way without the context.
If that context is provided then there is no need for the thread. But, seeing as the OP is as bare is it, the creator means to say it and say it alone.
tl;dr you're stupid as fuck

I'm not the one pitching a fit over some percieved slight in a 54 year old book.

>>9361355
V. Is the only Pynchon book I've read. What the fuck do I know about anything. I'm not a fucking pseud.
