Thomas Pynchon is the literary equivalent of Frank Zappa

or maybe ween, the Grateful Dead. he’s jam band-coded. he noodles

tried for years and just can’t get into it. too goofy.

William Gaddis is the velvet underground. when I watched the VU doc and found out they hated Zappa and all the west coast hippie stuff it warmed my heart

also feel like pynchon is for people who smoke weed (I.e. regards)
