apologies for responding to an older post (or if this has been mentioned
already) but Mr Mieville's latest, The Last Days of the New Paris is
swimming in Pynchon, e.g. page 87:

"between the trajectories of rocket falls, rainbow-shapes and gravity,
between his imaginings of the screamings across the sky that he would send
the Nazis, Parsons, with exhausting care and thoroughness, developed an
arithmetic of invocation, an algebra of ritual. A witching plan"

good read
