トマス・ピンチョン著
重力の虹 上巻 読了。
登場人物がめちゃくちゃ多いし、それに伴ってエピソードも過剰。翻訳が読みやすいので、とりあえず読み進められたが、上巻を読了しても物語の現在地が不明…。 下巻を読むのが楽しみでつ😭

Another #drawing that is inspired by the doubling in Pynchon’s #GravitysRainbow. This started with the same@structure as MP 38, experimenting with different materials for block text; playing with the division of the character and actor/ Hollywood star
Mindless Pleasures 46
Author: Thomas Pynchon
Novel: Gravity's Rainbow
Mr. Mystery, the great Thomas Pynchon. Just because your paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after you, obviously.

Epic! Poetic! Prophetic! Lyrical! It’s impossible to best describe this novel in the right way. But an extraordinary read it certainly is! #GravitysRainbow 🚀🍌🗺️🪖📸📽️🐙🦧🚤♟️🔥
Dijon Says This Acclaimed Postmodern Novel Sent Him Into ‘Psychosis’: The musician was reading Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow while creating his latest album, Baby, an experience that proved to be more psychological than he… #Dijon #GravitysRainbow #ThomasPynchon #PostmodernLiterature #Psychosis
Layers of mess on Slothrop’s desk pg 18-19 echo the chaotic enumeration of the junk drawer in Ulysses. Pg 26 gives the best line since the first sentence: the one Word that rips apart the day, and pg 30 spectacularly compares church steeples to launching rockets. #gravitysrainbow #thomaspynchon
Bananas despite rations and the explosion of banana-based food is a joke on 3+ levels: reinforcing questions of war and imperialism, echoing manna/quail in Exodus & Numbers, double/triple entendres linking the banana, the rocket, and Priapus, pg 9, 11 #gravitysrainbow #pynchon

1/In my journey through Gravity's Rainbow, I got to the part where Slothrop sneaks into Potsdam while Truman, Churchill and Stalin are meeting there to divide up Europe. The description is very specific as to the location where Slothrop is trying to find the hidden stash of hashish that Emil […]
I’ve been trying to get back to reading more, so a few weeks ago I searched my stacks. Finding this, I decided 27 years on the tbr list was enough. I’m in it.

Rereading 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒚’𝒔 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒃𝒐𝒘: the page itself flickers, hymns beneath jokes beneath palinodes of ruins and … a carnival atmosphere. Equations chant, desire coils, paranoia flowers from ash.
The rocket waits, omen or machine or key in a lock.
To turn it is to be turned.

The firmament keeps telling me that I need to read the novels #InfiniteJest, and #GravitysRainbow
In #GravitysRainbow, here's Yank protagonist Slothrop all dressed up for a party:
"With my face shined up-like a microphone
And uh Sta-Comb on my hair,
I’m just as suave-as an ice-cream cone,
I’m Mister Debonair. . . .
"and turned out in a green French suit of wicked cut with a subtle purple […]

Once you cuddled ‘em
And kissed ‘em.
Now we’re bringing down their system.
And it isn’t a #resistance
It’s a war.

I googled too close to the sun and saw a Reddit post that began “As with the microcosm of Blicero’s oven” #booksky #pynchon #GravitysRainbow
Just posted a comparison between two mind-blowing books: Pynchon’s ”Gravity’s Rainbow” and RA Wilson's/Shea’s ”Illuminatus!”:

For #ThomasPynchon's 88th birthday let's continue with the theme of music inspired by #GravitysRainbow. Here we have #LaurieAnderson who I'm going to see at the Roundhouse in November.
It is #ThomasPynchon's 88th birthday today. What better way to celebrate than with #Devo's anarchic hit 'Whip It' which was inspired by #GravitysRainbow.
(Ed. note: Pynchon has a new novel due out in October so get ready.)

„Once the technical means of control have reached a certain size, a certain degree of being connected one to another, the chances for freedom are over for good. The word has ceased to have meaning."
Thomas Pynchon: Gravity's Rainbow p.548

Sketch of a teacup with text: "Sometimes I can call up his face in a cup of tea. But the herbs have to be gathered carefully. I'm not that good at it yet," "But you're in love. Technique is just a substitute for when you get older," Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow.
Day Three is Book! I chose to illustrate a quote from Gravity's Rainbow!

Spent a couple of hours with the winemaker of a new New York winery, tasting through his portfolio and just talking. His "Gravity's Rainbow" is a Cab Franc rosé. After tasting it, I told him it was much easier to get into and finish than the book. #GravitysRainbow #book #wine #Winesky #Booksky
