Took me 6 months to finish this.

I thought a lot about Katje, Roger, Jessica. The episode with Tyrone wearing the pig costume for the feast day was interesting. I liked their vignettes. I don't really care for/get postmodern writing, so as the book had less and less narrative structure I enjoyed it less and less. I can only take so many interludes where Thomas Pynchon compares absolutely everything to an erection.


At the end of the day, I don't really owe anything to a book. So I debated putting this down but I knew I would absolutely never revisit it if I did so I just powered through.
