Bilirubin posted:Done. Wow, what an ending. Had to immediately go back and reread the Florence chapter. So good. if anyone missed it the waterspout bit is lifted from moby dick, thus alluding to another large book about a man's destructive quest after the sole object of (constructed) meaning in a fundamentally meaningless world

Bilirubin posted:Also all of the artificial elements connected to V.'s body at the end too. Its an interesting thing for Pynchon to get so hung up on though. Is he concerned about humanity's place in the face of horrific, world-ending technology? I bet he'd have written a hell of a cyberpunk novel had he come from a different time a motif that popped up a good few times is the moment or process by which an animate person transmogrifies, or is transmogrified, into an inanimate thing. the Mondaugen bit engages with this the most obviously, I think, and also frequently alludes to the holocaust
