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"?
