A bit typical for him, but I’d never skip a Pynchon novel for the world. I recalled liking Bleeding Edge though I haven’t revisited it and unlike Against The Day and Inherent Vice it didn’t seem to kick up a lot of dust with people talking about it. I thought it showed Pynchon adapting to its era better than he did, say, Vineland.

He’s almost 90. Wonder if he’ll outlive Cormac.
