To you, what is pynchonesque?
I came across this video earlier today and I couldn't stop thinking about how it reminded me of Pynchon. Like, this is a rant I could easily imagine reading in a Pynchon novel, even the guy himself with the weird haircut somehow seems perfectly pynchonesque.
This got me thinking about a broader question: What do I think is pynchonesque? How would I define the aesthetic? Is it the playfully weird names? Is it a particular flavor of surrealism and Americana that only Pynchon can properly tap into?
So, my question to you is exactly that: To you, what is pynchonesque?
Bonus comment: That one time Rudy Giuliani gave a press conference in a place that was not a hotel but was indeed called Four Seasons, and this place happened to be located between a crematorium and sex shop, that hit me as extremely pynchonesque.
