I just finished Mason and Dixon this weekend and I’m still in the afterglow of it all. I read GR last year which was my first experience with any of Pynchon’s books, and loved it as well. While they are very different books, I was struck at how much nature is practically its own character in both novels. Not only that, but I often found that Pynchon’s pose was at its most poetic, most moving when he was describing nature around his characters and scenes. So….let’s share our favorite Pynchon nature lines, passages, paragraphs that have stuck with you!
