Pynchon has passed away

>>9664436
Don't say shit like that man, you can't just joke about somebody's life like that.

He is very much alive. Ignore this man.

>>9664402
This is correct without the final 'e': kraz-nah-whore-ky.

I'm guessing the "S" in the surname is silent? That's how I've always pronounced it, I don't put emphasis on it at all when I say it.

Anyone got a good reading order for his books? Read Satantango last year and loved it, got Melancholy for the summer. No idea where to go next afterwards. Was thinking of reading either Seibo or War and War when I get home in September.

Yes he is.

>>9665894
Actually the "z" is silent, "sz" is the same as "s" in English.

>>9664393

He is overrated because of how long it took to translate Satantango. His prose doesn't work in English and he is hailed by pseuds as a literary and writing revolutionaire on par with muh McCarthy.

He isn't bad. But he isn't meant to become a literary classic either.

>he is hailed by pseuds as a literary and writing revolutionaire

Anon say he's one of the best going - which he is - but they rarely if ever take it that far.

You just like to endlessly strawman against "the pseuds" because you're fucking terrified that you're still one yourself. Relax, buddy.

>>9664402
the correct hungarian pronounciation is
>cross-nah-whore-caw-e
with emphasis only on the cross

>>9665952

> Accuse anon of strawmanning
> Proceed to strawman

I am enclined to wonder who's the real pseud here.

>>9666168

>> Accuse anon of strawmanning
Which he was actually doing.
>> Proceed to strawman
Which I didn't do.

I localized my critique to the specific person that I was talking to; he took shots at a host of figments.

>>9666180

I don't think you understand what strawmanning is.

I hope you know what the fallacy fallacy is. At least.

>>9666198

I don't think you like it when you have to abandon the delusion that you are above reproach: if someone is acting like a try hard it isn't strawmanning to suggest he is as much in his personal life. It is guesswork, sure, but a fair guess based on his choice of conduct.

>>9666227

This oddly applies to you too so it seems.

>>9666293

>implying

Again, my critique has only ever been toward a single person (who was indeed acting like a bit of a cunt) - not a host of people who weren't even posting in the thread with him.

You really do want to fight very hard to be a cunt in life.
