Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. I took this read on a camping trip and took this photo one morning as the sun rose through the lodgepole pine trees. It took me two tries to get through this book due to life circumstances cutting an initial read short. I enjoy Pynchon's work and have been eyeing his new release, Shadow Ticket.

Have you read Pynchon? Which is of his works is your favourite?

🚨 Ah, another literary analysis masquerading as a book review. Apparently, Thomas Pynchon's latest hero is a spaghetti-twirling, bomb-dodging, amiable behemoth. 🙄 Who knew solving mysteries involved so much pasta? 🍝👏

Il romanzo d’esordio di Thomas Pynchon ha per titolo una sola lettera, V., iniziale di una serie di nomi presenti nelle diverse trame che si intrecciano: è la Valletta, capitale di Malta, è la Venere dipinta da Botticelli, la perduta, mitica città africana di Vheissu; è la giovane Victoria Wren nell’Egitto dell’Ottocento, ma anche il Venezuela, l’avventuriera Vera Meroving, e il topo femmina Veronica e ancora il missile V-1, nonché, naturalmente, la vagina.

Film review: One Battle After Another (2025)

Vineland is probably my favourite Pynchon novel, so I was mostly interested in finding out how faithful One Battle After Another might be to that book's storyline.

Thanks to a posting (albeit on another platform) by famous #SF author #WilliamGibson I've learned that another of my favorite writers has a new book out: #ThomasPynchon who -I'm beginning to suspect- is not a single person but a collective ;-) A thriller in the style of 1940s detective noir? I'm all in

#vendredilecture bis : Pour une fois que le lauréat du Prix Nobel, #LászloKrasznahorkai, l’a mérité à juste titre, j’ai consacré un quart d’heure pour localiser le seul de ses livres en ma possession, « Sátántangó », son premier ouvrage datant de 1985, dans les couches les plus basses de ma pile à lire, depuis quinze ans, non moins... J’aurais préféré une des autres bêtes sacrées de la littérature postmoderne, #MirceaCărtărescu ou bien #ThomasPynchon, mais peu importe, ce choix est tout à fait approprié. Pour reconnaître l’œuvre de ce dernier, par contre, il va falloir se dépêcher – #Pynchon a déjà 88 ans et le Prix n’est décerné qu’aux personnes vivantes...
