Its part of a compendium of novels deemed essential reading to becoming big brain westoid canon nerd by /lit/. However, since it comes from :amerikkka: Im worried that in the end its going to offer nothing of substance, liberal ideology, and snarky anti-populist messaging and I'm only going to realize this 75% through reading it and cry because im slow at literary analysis.

    semi-disconnected stunt writing that people like Joyce and Pynchon

    i'm sad that Inherent Vice is the only Pynchon movie we ever got, but I guess all his other stuff is unadaptable.

      I reckon you could give Gravity's Rainbow a good hard try with some cuts, but the last third is so David Lynch it'd seem derivative.

      I think adapting The Crying of Lot 49 wouldn't be particularly hard.
