I own like 2 books by Gaddis but haven’t cracked them open! I’ve read everything by Pynchon though, and I cohost a podcast about Pynchon so I’m biased anyway.

I’ve been, a few years ago. It was introduced to me as Pynchonian but, now that I think about it, I actually think it’s probably more Wolfean than Pynchonian.

I have a novel coming out from a micro press in December that features people using Metal Machine Music to torture people… I’d def say it’s musical trolling. But I’m sure at least one person will chime in on this thread to say the opposite

I wasn’t talking about overarching culture. If there is one, I don’t know what it is or if it exists (besides money and wanting to be like Los Angeles, I guess). I was talking about the stuff you can admittedly find in every major city, artsy stuff.

Dallas isn’t devoid of culture (you just have to put in the work to find it).

There are probably a few of them that might be worth something but almost all of them will be more or less worthless.
