My first foray into the mind of Thomas Pynchon. Admittedly, the rambling, surrealism, and paranoia of Bleeding Edge was close to having the better of me (and probably did). I can see why people like his writing, but I feel I lack the necessary cultural sophistication to truly enjoy the story.

I don't know if you can call a 2013 novel 'prescient' as such, but one quote stayed with me after putting the book down. I'll add it below.

Mistodon: If you haven't had the strange pleasure of reading #ThomasPynchon's 1973 magnum opus #GravitysRainbow, 'ostensibly about an American G.I. who seems to have a psychosexual connection to Nazi Germany's V-2 rockets', no gloss will really suffice. But because a picture says a thousand words, we here post Cthulu's adaptation of #MarcGetter's cover art to the postmodern novel, included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

»How’s the amnesia, forgotten anything interesting lately?«

— #ThomasPynchon: »Shadow Ticket« (2025), S. 137.

«Pat si dimentica le password per poter parlare con i suoi ex-compagni della French 75, si sfonda di canne e alcol e passa la maggior parte del tempo sdraiato sul divano a riguardare film come “La battaglia di Algeri”. Ma non si tira indietro e mette a rischio la sua vita quando, coperto da una lebowskiana vestaglia che non si toglie più, si alza, fugge e corre per salvare sua figlia».

Non è una vera e propria recensione, semmai uno specchio deformante per i tanti Pat Calhoun che ancora esistono

Thomas Pynchon on ‚Liberty‘

„Unfortunately, young people,“ recalls the Revd, „the word Liberty, unreflectively sacred to us today, was taken in those Times to encompass even the darkest of Men’s rights,— to injure whomever we might wish,— unto extermination, were it possible,— Free of Royal advice or Proclamation Lines and such. This being, indeed and alas, one of the Liberties our late War was fought to secure.“
Thomas Pynchon
Mason & Dixon, p. 307

Zettel 2900

Thomas Pynchon: Der Anzug paßte ihm wie Gary Grant, und er schien sich vor nicht einmal einer Stunde rasiert zu haben und trug eine rosafarbene tropische Blume im Knopfloch. Allerdings roch er immer noch wie die hinteren Regale für Herrenkosmetik in einer Drogerie, und sein Haarschnitt stammte von einem Friseur, der offensichtlich gerade dabei war, sich das Rauchen abzugewöhnen. – Vineland

Gen Xfest and the Better Suit Industrial Complex

I’m still within the gravitational pull of CloudFest 2026 Gen Xfest 2026, which is always a dangerous thing—but not bad for the bavablog post count!

At the same time I’ve been reading [[Shadow Ticket]] by [[Thomas Pynchon]], and somewhere between the booths, the buzzwords, and the frank and beans, the two started bleeding into one another.

Because what I’m seeing  at Gen XFest—and […]

No lie, a small part of me almost expected an Oscar’s cameo by Thomas Pynchon last night.

Thomas Pynchon, „Gravity’s Rainbow“, 1973

„Vergiss nicht, dass das eigentliche Geschäft des Krieges das Kaufen und Verkaufen ist. Das Töten und die Gewalt regeln sich von selbst und können Laien anvertraut werden.“

Fun romp of an essay from Pynchon!
No real surprise that he was kinda down with the Luddites 40 years ago. Thanks for sharing. I'd never read this before.

"As the Liberty lads o'er the sea
Bought their freedom, and cheaply, with blood,
So we, boys, we
Will die fighting, or live free,
And down with all kings but King Ludd! "

About a third of the way into #ShadowTicket by #ThomasPynchon, and it's really galloping.

I'm kind of floored I love it so very much. It's very funny, and sly and oblique about reminding us of the violence, messiness, and tangled ironies of American history that they don't teach about in high school.

The jokes, pacing and so on, the writing in the small -- the dude still Has It. It may not be TRP's best novel, but dang, it's an instant classic and one of the Great American Novels, even so.
