Reading Pynchon & Pynching Reads

[Ralph Blunsom]

Duckett:

Those are almost exactly the same words I chose, but in a different order, and
slightly different words, as the inscription in my first gift of GR. (It keeps
on giving!) So not the same at all, really.

> Anyone else ever get this sense of altered reality after a long reading of

In summary - trousers.

Whilst I'm here, could anyone advise of any critical studies of Nietzsche's
influence on Pynchon in Pynchonotes or elsewhere? Every time I read a bit of
Freddy I notice another thing pynched. 'Spesh from The Gay Science.
