Slow Learner: Early Stories by Thomas Pynchon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The first four are extremely gifted collegiate short stories; the final short story, "The Secret Integration" (his 1st published fiction following the JFK assassination) reveals the scope of his genius and the depth of his heart. The man's got a soul like Lake Baikal.

Momma HOUSEHOLD NAME (2022)

 man the kids are hitting their stride with the 90's redux. there was so much there that got passed through way too quickly, and left us puking in the alley behind the bar, with nü-metal and nothing to show for ourselves. even the one-hit wonders were packed with insane guitar lines, impassioned drumming, shit that just cannot be replicated by dudes sending .wav files out between vape drags. let them go wild, let them rebuild Jericho from the rubble we left behind
