“We are light…The soul itself is a memory we carry of having once moved at the speed and density of light. The first step…is learning how to re-acquire that rarefaction…to become once more able to pass where we will, through lantern-horn, through window-glass…”

“When we enter…upon a chain of events we are certain we have lived through before, in every detail, it is possible that we have stepped outside of Time…and have had a glimpse of future, past, and present…all together…They call it 'the already seen.’”

“…a new Puccini opera," she said. "An American betrays a Japanese woman…He ought to die of shame,but does not…Is it that Japanese do die of shame and dishonor but Americans don't?…As if,somehow,your country is…destined to move forward regardless of who is…underfoot?"
#THOMASPYNCHON is one of the GOAT's of American literature but soooooo mysterious...
Me hubiera gustado que todo lo ganara #Sinners pero cada #oscar para #OBAA es un triunfo para #ThomasPynchon
Congratulations #ThomasPynchon

“This world you take to be 'the' world will die, and descend into Hell…Flanders will be the mass grave of History…you children drift in a dream …imagine the fabric of Time torn open, and yourselves swept through, with no way back, orphans and exiles…”
I would set you free, if I knew how. But it isn't free out here. All animals, plants, minerals, even other kinds of men, are being broken & reassembled every day, to preserve an elite few, who are the loudest to theorize on freedom, but the least free of all.

“Well you are presentable, there's no avoiding that. When you transmigrate into your next body, you might consider something a bit less eyecatching….I suppose I only mean, be cautious.…”
"Of the flesh but not the world….”

he was certain…that none of these figures were his real fellow crewmen…rather a ghost-Unit,from some Abode he wished never to visit, resolved on working him mischief…masked to look like Chums of Chance.
But then Darby Suckling caught sight of him,and the moment passed.

“flight into the next dimension…always at the mercy of Time…We went from two dimensions…out into town- and map-space…and now…years of sky-roving, maybe some of us are ready to step 'sidewise'…into the next dimension-into Time-our fate, our lord, our destroyer."

crew of the Inconvenience became aware of doubts creeping in…If it was all just some elaborate hoax they'd chosen to play on themselves,to keep distracted from a reality too frightening…They may only have once been readers of the Chums of Chance Series of boys' books…

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE VACCINES. IT WAS ABOUT THE 👉PRESERVATIVE👈 thimerosal.

Fester's Lucky 13 1966: Books
With the detective Oedipas Maas unable to uncover satisfyingly definitive answers in the story, it’s considered an anti-detective novel, something Pynchon would revisit.

“The State is evil, its divine right proceeds from Hell, Hell is where we all went. Some came out...broken, dying...intimidated into silence...all of us, even those who had voted and paid our taxes like good bourgeoisie, came out hating the State.
While, I'm doing my best to avoid having a panic attack, another story of mine has been published, this time in
Hawkeye. It's called "Plots," it's meta and it has #ThomasPynchon in it. hawkeyemag.com/stories/behn...
Just saw #OneBattleAfterAnother, which I enjoyed better than #PTA's last couple films. . .the last one I enjoyed as much or nearly as much was the last time he adapted #ThomasPynchon, actually.

“The question that arises is, where were you just before."
Lew squinted, perplexed. "Strolling down to the creek minding my business. Where else?"
"Couldn't have been the same world as the one you're in now."
