Just finished Pynchon's #ShadowTicket. Was worth the wait and will need another read (to keep the characters straighter). Empathized too much with Hicks as an ex-pat trying to figure things out, watching America decline helplessly. It's both serious and whimsical, silly and cutting. Worth a read.

Today’s episode is an audio journal of my attempt to read Thomas Pynchon’s 1100-page metahistorical explosion of a novel, “Against the Day.” Join me on this intimate journey of struggle, joy and self-discovery.

I’m not saying #ThomasPynchon stole my idea in #ShadowTicket, but I did have a #shortstory in @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social about cheese and a hard boiled noir detective a while back…
(Seriously, I’m not suggesting he stole it. Beyond those two elements, there is little in common between our stories)

Thomas Pynchon's new novel Shadow Ticket is a great Chandleresque detective story set in the 1930s. Highly recommended.

"Faithful?"
"[I]f it will get Hop back to me safe and sound, OK? there's no depths I wouldn't go to, even degrading myself rolling around with a lowlife such as you."
"Could've just said you love the guy, I would've bought that."
"But this way you also got to have your ashes hauled."

“[W]hat’s a hundred miles to the streamlined velocities of the 1930s?”
"Sure there isn't some way we could just do this all out of the office?
Shortwave radio or something?"
"Too slow."
"Radio waves, what's faster'n that?"
"A live op who's there already, on the spot."

Zu Beginn droht er abzuschmieren wie alle Chandler-Epigonen, aber Pynchon kriegt ja doch immer noch irgendwie crazy die Kurve, hoffen wir.

Compassion for Hicks, for ICE...
(BTW, compassion is not tolerance.)

Living in Europe, but borders blur when it comes to Pynchon — so yes, the US edition it is.

Halfway through #ShadowTicket by Thomas #Pynchon I feel a bit like Margaret Dumont in a Marx Brothers film.

“You might consider us an encapsulated volume of pre-Fascist space-time, forever on the move, a patch of Fiume as it once was, immune to time, surviving all these years in the deep refuge of the sea…”

What to make of the conversations around apport vs asport? Early on in the novel a gun and a woman goes missing.In chapter 22,there is a claim that bullets are asported away and counterfeit goods are referred to as "counterfeit apports".
Quantum physics meets the occult?

"Who'll keep doing what they want regardless of which of these two rich white guys gets in the White, did I say White House…”

“The federals who had you in…likely just a front, OK? It's the outfit that's behind them, a nationwide syndicate of financial tycoons, all organized…against the forces of evil, namely everything to the left of Herbert Hoover. Worried about the next election…

“Under the Curse of the Dago Bowling Ball, rolling forever down the alleys of fate, doomed to less time colliding with maple than off in the gutters, at best unlikely to pick up even easy spares, Detlef found himself reaching beyond the station house walls that had proved so frail, and out to higher levels of police, state and after a while federal, as Prohibition deepened, as the gunfire down in Chicago reached peaks unheard of, as even more G-boys came pouring into SMEGMA (Semi-Military Entity Greater Milwaukee Area), which by then had become a staging grounds for frontline operations in Chicago.”
Jeebus, thatsa looong sentence. #ShadowTicket
