I had hoped to never read Pynchon's name in the same sentence as
Knausgaard's but here it is:
"You don’t, for instance, read the torrential riffings of a Thomas
Pynchon or even a Karl Ove Knausgaard the same way as you do the
crystalline exactness of Nabokov."
Interesting article:
"Pretentious, impenetrable, hard work ... better? Why we need difficult
books"

Has anyone read "Milkman"?
