I don't know Brown's work, but after a quick glance at it online,
it does seem that your thoughts fit better with his view of things.
He thought everything was fucked up, but it looks like he blames
societal structures and repression for messing up what in its
original condition was pretty good. That doesn't make sense to me,
since if our original underlying substrate was all good, where did
the creation of the messed up societal structures and the need
for repression originate.

I like what Pynchon does with all of his paints. He doesn't pose
any solutions. He just gives them all a nice place in his paintings.
People who like certain colors say Pynchon is fond of those colors.
But, all the colors in all of their harmony and opposition are
there. I think he's the Pollock of words and concepts.

But, of course, that's because that's how I see the world and
the menagerie of conceptualizations of it.

There's no way out except death. Now or then. Both the same.
