Miss Portinari investigates

Thomas Pynchon seen (or not) from Brazil. Time to confess that I think of Against the Day as something I slogged through and lived to tell about, and I haven’t tried The Bleeding Edge for fear that it’s his Golem100.

Thanx to Metafilter

I seem to remember not getting past the first chapter of Golem¹⁰⁰, but I had to skip a lot of The Computer Connection and then began to be able to trace that badness back through his earlier work. I have only managed to read V and The Crying of Lot 49; Gravity's Rainbow disappeared at some point and was not found even when I packed up to move.

I hadn't realized he was still living.

Bester was covering up the sick parts much better in the early good stuff.
