@Rantingduderino@coopercooperco I think his prose is puzzling, atmospheric, funny, dark, and jaw-dropping. His writing style is the main appeal for me, the looseness, the cadence, the rhythm, the absurdity. It all works. He's brilliant, but may be more appreciated if the reader is a writer themselves.
I think we’ll have a gen z awakening to Thomas Pynchon when Paul Thomas Anderson drops Vineland the way Cormac McCarthy had a generational awakening with No Country (movie) and Wendigoon’s vid on Blood Meridian
