finished this today. so much better than gravity's rainbow. finishing a pynchon epic is both depressing and satisfactory at the same time though.
gravity's rainbow is some hundred times better than GAYson and DICKson

OH BITCH you have no idea, this is a neato torpedo lead in to Against the Day
Hope you know about the Icelandic rocks and Zulu tribes and Mexican anarchists and Greek arms dealers and Colorado businessmen and the work of Philip K. Dick

Been meaning to start this - is it basically a historical novel about them, or does it get weird and surreal the way GR did?
>>9973037
Both. It mainly focuses on Mason and Dixon's surveying of their line, but with frequent tangents

I only have two pynchon books left to acquire, Against the Day and Slow Learner, and both seem to be goddamn impossible to find in this state.

>implying the search for pynchon's books shouldn't be as epic as the novels themselves, thus immersing you in the pineconian mindset further
