“It is spring, and French thyme blossoms in amazing white lacework across the cape of green that now hides and softens the true shape of the old rubble"
Thomas Pynchon has always been writing nonfiction.
““Hadn’t you heard?” They all looked at her. Death glided by, shadowless, among the empties on the grass.”
The Crying of Lot 49 — Thomas Pynchon
“It is simply wrong to begin with a theme, symbol or other abstract unifying agent, and then try to force characters and events to conform to it.”
― Thomas Pynchon
I’m basically copying Thomas Pynchon with my writing style
something like this happens every 50 pages in almost all thomas pynchon novels
“You hide, They seek”
Part of Pynchon’s “Proverb for Paranoids”
A blue and yellow tie fighter facing off several Star Wars Dreadnought class spaceships with blue and red colors.
Oppenheimer.
You? Never. Did the Kenosha kid?
So I have given my students a grammar exercise and there is Pynchon in it.
“Budapest, like love in Paris or greed in New York, would be somehow more authentic.”
“Does cheese, considered as a living entity, also possess consciousness?”
