The Pynchon Playlist

[Christian Hänggi]

  As a poor ukulelist who can barely strum "Rocky Racoon," I can't  
advise you on the uke (that's Sean Carswell's domain), but as a member  
of the Association of American Kazoologists (kazoologist.org, in case  
you want to become one too), I would say, just insert two kazoos in  
your mouth and hum along.

(My article on Pynchon's kazoo and harmonica appeared in this volume  
here: https://www.amazon.de/America-Musical-Unconscious-Julius-Greve/dp/1940813840)

You're most welcome to disagree on the California novels (nitpicking  
can be as delightful as nosepicking). If Pynchon published a little  
more frequently, we might be able to distinguish more clearly between  
American and Californian novels. After all, there's plenty of  
Americana in ATD. Would that be an honorary American novel?
