But writing occult-informed/inflected works, and satirising occultism, well, it's that sort of duality that makes Pynchon Pynchon.  That and the beautiful prose, unrivalled imagination, and humour, of course.

The Pynchon of IV isn't the Pynchon of GR.  Duality?  Some.  Humor, maybe, but beautiful prose and unrivalled imagination are sorely lacking in IV.  Not to say there aren't one or two passages that are worth quoting, but you have to hunt for them.  In GR, you can find them on almost any page.
