this is the plot of thomas pynchon's Bleeding Edge

@abraxas is Bleeding Edge a good first Pynchon book? I just listened to a three hour podcast episode about it and Pynchon and it made me feel completely insane. I want in

@abraxas ok I'm like 1/3 to 1/2 of the way into Bleeding Edge and it's getting all liminal and dreamlike but somehow I understand perfectly and yeah... consider me successfully Pynchonpilled

@kniferoomba It's so good, I definitely lost track of the plot at some point before picking it back up later but I think that's par for the course with pynchon. It certainly never hampers my enjoyment as long as I can hold on at least a little

@abraxas I'm also like at least 30% here for the jokes. I'd heard a bunch about how Pynchon was the leftist writer of all time with all these deep historical themes but noone told me he was this funny
