Gawd, do I hate thinking ab nihilo but this is an example, no book, no
text.
I will only say, as you might suspect, that all of the unformed,
half-formed, cosmos
of Pynchon that I've explored is perhaps my foam of the universe to attempt
creation ab nihilo...
SHADOW TRANSIT is set in Milwaukee USA---Let's dedicate our Group Read to
Dave
Monroe RIP, that great binder of all us because of his love of Pynchon. And
also Hungary, in the virtual present
right? or don't we know that yet? Is time travel part of the transit?
MIlwaukee, the large American city most famous back when for being
socialist--a Socialist mayor
and whatever body ran the city with him, as I recall. (I've looked noting
up and won't)
A city of great American ongoing promise by some achievement of values and
economic justice already.
And Hungary, the nation-state some of the smartest watchers of Trump's
increasingly fascist regime say
the US is moving closest toward.
There's part of Pynchon's consistent thematic story line(s).
If I am right, my genius will lie unsaid. If wrong, no one will care....
Same end result and not a logical puzzle at all.
