. . . said cult being "The Official Chuck Palahniuk website," with  
designer logo & whatnot. On the other hand, Joshua Chaplinsky really  
gets it: "Here's your quote- Thomas Pynchon loved this book! Almost as  
much as he loves cameras."
	
	. . . Hardcore fans might decry Vice as Pynchon-light, and newbie’s  
might be duped into thinking they can tackle his more notorious works,  
but I’m sure Pynchon could care less. This is the man who broke a  
forty year silence on The Simpson’s, drawn with a bag with a question  
mark on it over his head. Vice is Pynchon doing what he does best-  
having fun and not giving a fuck. I can picture his response to  
snooty, would-be detractors claiming he has jumped the shark- Yeah?  
Well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.
