Editing Pynchon?

[Chris Broderick]

What immediately comes to mind is a version similar to John Oswald's edits of Chuck Berry (AKA Barelys)

Which would go a little something like this:

"A screaming comes across the sky.  It has happened before but there is nothing to compare it to now everybody-"

Slap some illustrations on it, and you've got a book!
