Pynchon & Kubrick

[Mark Wright AIA]

Howdy

The flying fickle finger of times arrow actually points the other way
in this discussion, because the Kubrick flim in question is "Eyes Wide
Shut," which was under development in the 1990's, not the 1960's. Which
flim,  incidentally, cannot be considered obscene because when it is
viewed in its entirety it does not  arouse the prurient interest as
much as it tends to act as a soporific.

Personally, I hold that Paul Reubens's magisterial picaresque opus
"Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" can only have been conceived after deep study
of Pynchon, Sterne, the Gospel of Thomas, and childhood "exposure" to
Foghorn Leghorn.
