Homage to Thomas Pynchon's L.A. Trilogy

[Carvill, John]

<< Kai:

Can we really speak of Vineland as part of some 'L.A. Trilogy'?

Me personally I always found Northern California to be quite different
from LA. So I guess 'Cali Trilogy' would be a better term.  >>

Good point. And also, can we really speak of an 'LA Something-ology' and exclude GR?


<< "No, one hesitates to say it, but the Santa Monica is a freeway for freaks,
and they are all out today ..." (GR, p. 755)   >>

Yes, lots of good IV resonances at the end of GR, particularly the stuff about freeways, VW's, etc.


<< Perhaps the whole idea to somehow group Pynchon's novels along the lines
of geography is simply misleading.

I mean, no one would buy it if I'd say that V-GR-M&D-AtD is Pynchon's
'Old-Yurp-Tetralogy', right?  >>

Heh. That point caused a little flare-up a while back, I recall.
