Google Alert - Pynchon

[Bruno]

A post-ironic gag comes into mind.
Also: I don’t find TRP particularly difficult in a sentence-to-sentence
level. The complexity of ideas are the cherry of his cake, I’d say. Plus
jokes. Lots. During my readings I never stop to think that he’s being
difficult for the sake of difficulty—-great writer.
