The Japanese Insurance Adjuster
It’s been held up from being released for 4 years now
We all know ~~*who*~~'s in charge of the printing press there and why they don't publish his book.
Why won't They release it? Godzilla copyright issues?
Frick off, moron
It hasn't been repurposed. It's about an insurance adjustor dealing with Godzilla.
>expecting Michael Dirda to get anything right
fu ck i ng lol
>some autist who discovered pynchon last year thinks he knows more than others
Tale old as time
>i knew about pynchon for a while now and it's probably longer than other people here pretty smart of me huh
Dear Thomas Pynchon,
You are an uncultured plebeian of the lowest common denominator and I first realized this when I happened to chance upon Gravity's Rainbow in 2nd grade. Scatological ramblings such as yours may impress the dimwitted hoi polloi and the cultural marxists who have transformed our nation's august universities into dens of iniquity -- but all the proud, intelligent, white men who have refused to fall prey to your style of degeneracy must surely look upon your writing with nothing but the lowest contempt.
Excuse me, I am getting ahead of myself--I had intended to start this letter by mentioning how much I loved the porno videos that your niece was in. Your niece is such a fricking bawd, holy shit. Her "Expert Guide to Anal Pleasure for Men" was supremely beneficial to me in many ways; I hope I'm not being too forthcoming when I say there is a special spot deep in the craw of my bodice that your niece and her special talents have--exacerbated, let's say? Now, I am not tasteless nor a hypocrite -- my standards of porn are very high: no filthy non-Caucasians; there must be art in the direction, choreography, the rhythm of the grunting and smacking flesh (one recalls Joyce's love letters to Norah as art of the highest calibre -- and again, I am not hypocritical, before you pounce on this, for Joyce's scatology is of more majestic artistic quality than anything you could ever make, you charlatan!); and finally, there should be some sexual freedom involved -- I simply cannot stand the dull sexual norms we are expected to conform to, and pride Joyce on his explicit descriptions of Molly "pegging" Bloom. That means I now sport a constant companion in the form of a dutiful colostomy bag.
But, on to the real meat of this epistle, Mister Pynchon. Your buck teeth: they are equal parts hilarious and repulsive. But there is something about them, Mr. Pynchon, that moves me (sexually) in a way nothing else moves me. I pulled myself off twice while reading about Maxine's being taken from behind by the guy who ripped her leggings, so thanks are due for that. "Woof-woof," barks my mad little wolf. I know how you are about photographs, but please, I entreat you, send me a picture of your penis. (As well as a picture of your wife's penis.) I loved you in "Snatch", the scene in which you drove a deck of cards into the Sun was particularly moving.
That was fricking two sentences you Black person. Pynchon, this long preamble is mostly due to some high anxiety I've got solely because I only wanted to write you to tell you that your books really suck now and I think it would behoove you to take me on as a ghost writer until you finally kick the bucket. ;_; I pooped a gloop and named it Slothcrap. I'm gonna kill myself. NO MORE RUNNING. You fricking homosexual.
I've never read your books, by the way, and I think they're all, without exception, terrible.
Who else thinks this was him
idk that he'd use the black person word or the other f word like that
are his novels written like this?
lol no
what a shame then

Cope. Phoneposters run IQfy
not f'long heh
sez who?
*furious typing noises* ...backtracing...backtracing...
The fact you didn’t know it’s a IQfy meme to say Le Japanese Insurance Adjuster was coming out in 2018 means you don’t run IQfy, newbie.
oh look it's the lit police
ARREST HIM
Does IQfy recommend Crying of Lot 49?
duh?
I like it, but I only read it after GR. Without reading that, not sure how much I would get out of TCOL, but it's a fun exercise nonetheless

Sounds cool.
maybe u can write it *shyly kicks dirt*

Are you being serious?
Before this post gets lost to the archives, I just want to know why you keep making pynchon threads? It’s been a good 2 or 3 per day for almost a week now.
Is it to cast a light on the incessant f. gardner posting? Do you dislike pynchon so much youre trying to drown out any real discussion of him? Or are you some kind of mega-autist fan of his?
What?

It was joke title he wrote for a show in the 90s. And it's also a line from Blood Meridian.

Lol
Imagine McCarthy smugly pulling that line over on everyone. Infinite Wink
I think it's about Legion Kondor in the spanish civil war.
Don't bully Mr. Pinecone.
Also he really doesn't sound autistic (also autistic people are non-functioning ya dolt):
how will it stack up??
How many today OP?

Pynchon once walked by me just a few inches away. I know no one will believe me but in case anyone’s interested I’ll try to answer any questions.
Did you get a whiff?
How tall is he? I can never tell from photos... 6ft? 6'2? is he tiny?
What was his facial hair situation?
Say, when was this? He's been dead for 2 decades...
>He's been dead for 2 decades...
No? He's alive.
He's dead. I've made the pilgrimage to his grave in cold spring harbor twice.
No whiff.
I’m 5’10. We were almost the same height, maybe he was slightly taller, except I have perfect posture and he was really hunched over with old age. His son is really tall though, like 6’4 or something.
He had a beard, nothing special though.
Pre-pandemic.
What else can you tell us?
Have you tried running into him again?
Would you dare reveal you know who he is?
Would you, perhaps, hand him a banana?
Or simply thank him?
Or follow him all day, which would be extremely lit? Perhaps there isn't much time to do so. This needs to happen. One last hurrah before the end (of the world [ww3], not Pynch)
That’s all I can say really.
I’ll probably never meet him again because I don’t work at that place anymore though he frequents there often, or at least he did when I was there pre-covid.
>meet him
go on
Lol, I should be more exact with my words. I’ll never be in the same building let alone a few inches from him again.
I bet you either worked at or in the same building as that bookstore.
Met Opera house actually

I like Bleeding Edge better than Vineland.
i thought it was a solid book
Bleeding Edge was meh and felt like something from Gibson's trilology. But Against the Day is a masterpiece on par with GR.
Yeah, that's what I hear.
Not sure how Bleeding Edge is like Gibson though. BE was pretty nutty and pretty metaphorical.
If I'm mainly interested on Inherent Vice, V. and Against The Day, in what order should I read them? Considering I already read Gravity's Rainbow.
Does he live on the UWS?
I don’t know if you meant to ask me that since you didnt reply to me but just in case - I have no idea where he lives but I did see him at UWS which is where my work was at the time

Why the frick are there 8 separate Pynchon threads on the board right now? Is it one person spamming them? Probably every known photo of Pynchon in existence is in the catalog right now
what
It's a secret code. An anon pointed it out yesterday. No one will put the effort in to figure out what it means and that's ironically the key...because Pynchon.
the big book of gay starring OP
Idk man, why do you have all those tabs open? Do you open every thread?
How do we even know a new novel is coming? I'm pretty sure the pynchmeister is too old for that shit.
His son is long out of college so pinecone really has no reason to shit out another half assed novel.
Well yeah but it's already been how much, over a decade since bleding edge? And he's nearing 90, that nibba old as shit.
But remember: he's been working on it since 1999. The other two are potboilers, obviously. His finale is going to be fricking lit af. A high-frequency blade through the heart of our dysgenic modern shiterary slopscene.
Nothing I'd like to see more than that. Just that, as is, I'm afraid the old pynchdog might croak before it's all well and done.
then we'll have to steal the manuscript
i'm putting together a team
If that's so, I'm in
your brain is rotted
