Why Pynchon is the greatest

[Malignd]

<<"the crimes behind the world, the thousand bloody
arroyos in the hinterlands of time that stretched
somberly inland from the honky-tonk coast of Now.">>

If I'm following this-- 

The thousand bloody arroyos are on the coast?  The
arroyos are both bloody and somber?  The crime are
"behind" the world, in the hinterlands, despite there
being thousands of them and despite their stretching
inland, presumably out of the hinterlands, out from
behind the world?  The hinterlands are also a
honky-tonk?  The hinterlands are on the coast?

Help me somebody.
