VLVL2 (3): Purple Pynchon Prose

[Steve Maas]

That's a good sentence. Though, if VL were typical of P.'s legacy, he would 
be one of any number of interesting writers.

VL:GR::Unconditionally Guaranteed:Trout Mask Replica

I guess then V is Lick My Decals Off, Baby (in a temporally-challenged 
manner of speaking).

And, lest we forget when discussing all the politics and pop culture, 
Pynchon is simply a masterful writer, and one of the best sentences 
(stylistically) I've encountered in Vineland so far is:

"The arrangements of hillside levels, alleyways, corners, and rooftops 
created a Casbah topography that was easy to get lost in quickly, terrain 
where the skills of the bushwhacker became worth more than any resoluteness 
of character, and architechtural version of the uncertainty, the illusion, 
that must have overtaken his career for him ever to've been assigned there 
in the first place" (25).
