. . . 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.
