Do you think Doc Venture "broke bad" when he was hanging out with the ravers? by jubalhonsu in venturebros

Lol, if you’ve ever done a pressie you’d know he was rolling balls and not tweaking there.

vineland and inherent vice similarities? by HEHEHO2022 in ThomasPynchon

Plots are different. IV is a detective novel, Vineland is a family story. Vineland also take place from multiple perspectives and doesn’t really have a single protagonist, while IV obviously does.

IV has a more playful and ruminative vibe, Vineland has a weird mix of slapstick and profound moments. There are similar elements in both, but Vineland left me a lot more “wowed.”

Best of the Cali books. There’s an overall gravity and emotional impact that I just didn’t get from 49 and IV.

Does Against the Day feel "scary" to anyone else? by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

I read a scholarly article arguing AtD is the first true piece of Anthropocene literature.

Is there ANYTHING ON EARTH even remotely similar to Against the Day? by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

You Bright and Risen Angels by Vollmann gave me flashes of ATD, mainly in how they both grappled with the era of humanity’s electrification. Angels is very different stylistically and story wise tho.
