>Pynchon's "followup, the bloated and nearly incoherent Gravity’s Rainbow, was his deliberate attempt—out of a misguided reverence for Joyce—to create a Ulysses of his own. It’s a mode of sloppy giganticism he’s suffered from ever since"

Ulysses is overrated by people too moronic to begin to understand it. Same with GR. These people should stick to Vonnegut.
>Ulysses is overrated
You need to go back
Nice of you to ignore the rest of his sentences. It amazes me even in IQfy you find people that are unable to understand what someone else posted.
I only read the first half of every sentence so I can annoy people and get (you)s. Thank you, kind stranger
What is the point in making IQfy even worse?
Yet, here you are.
>making IQfy even worse
You can't really make something worse when it's already at rock bottom, anon
worse than what?
is it ego that drives them to read real literature? ambition? curiosity?
It's ego. I myself refrain from commenting on things I know I'm too stupid to appreciate. But most people feel the need to have an opinion about everything, and if they read something and feel left out of the high IQ club of enjoyers, they feel the itching desire to call said club a bunch of fakers and homos.
Or you should stop degrading those who don't enjoy Ulysses. Sure, there are a lot of Anons here who probably never read it and still come in and comment some dumb shit for (you)s, I give you that. On the other hand there are many who genuenly disliked Ulysses. Don't confuse these two groups under the "too stupid to get this 1000000 IQ masterpiece" umbrella.

guenonly?
Anyway, no there aren't. They were filtered.
Slaughterhouse Five is just the cliffnotes to GR lmao
This is like saying Picasso's blue period was bad because the painting's were too blue, or that Waiting for Godot was bad because it didn't have a satisfying conclusion.
they are
