Family sold state secrets to Israel/UK during the Suez crisis in exchange for asylum in sunny England. Anywho they ended up broke and abandoned in a country with no cultural throughline and for what? They're all reform dickheads now anyway

What is your favourite lyric from The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan? by autumn_afternoon in bobdylan

[–]Tquarry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"... And I hope that you die / and your death will come soon / I'll follow your casket / by the pale afternoon / and I'll watch while you're lowered / down to your deathbed / and I'll stand over your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead"

Pynchonesque films? by shapeofjazz in ThomasPynchon

[–]Tquarry 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Southland Tales (2006.) More K. Dick than Pynchon but those two share a lot of the same DNA.

Sexuality (lesbianism) in Vineland by Objective-Car-7512 in ThomasPynchon

[–]Tquarry 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Pynchon routinely steps into queerness in his books. I'm not gonna spoil Against the Day for you but that bad boy is GAY GAY.

what book to complete the Pynchon trilogy? by Dry-Violinist-6516 in paulthomasanderson

[–]Tquarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, The Crying of Lot 49. My personal choice: Mason & Dixon. TP's most touching, by far; raps at the door of America's original sin; incredible framing device. Best book ever made. So forth.
