  Perverse Egalitarianism — Authority: 471
  Reading Against the Day .  I think it just may contain one of the best lines in the history of literature.  It’s some graffiti written on a wall in Denver: Roses is red/shit is brown/nothing but assholes/live in this town.

It is called the Price of Wisdom, and located above a seedy bar called Rubys Lounge. This allows the owners to put up a hand-lettered sign ...

• "The ice caps are melting, oh ho ho ho ho ho."

  
  Althouse — Authority: 738
  Hey, its the Tiny Tim song Thomas Pynchon was talking about! This insane song appears on Tims 1968 album "God Bless Tiny Tim," so all that ice caps melting business has nothing to do with our present-day angst over polar bears and obeisance to the Great God Gore . Unless Tim started it all. Who are those kids ...

  SOUNDTRACK : CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND HIS MAGIC BAND-Trout Mask Replica (1968). –Fast and Bulbous. –Bulbous yes, but also tapered.

  Pattern recognition is both the blessing and curse of sentience. Discerning patterns provides structure to our lives , and made possible the rise of the scientific method, the one reliable way of understanding that wolves and bears are bigger threats in the forest than witches and trolls. Still, an excess of ...

• Clip Job: Five Songs About Books

  
  Arts Desk — Authority: 142
  To judge by their tightly wound, country-tinged pop songs,  Olivia Mancini and the Mates aren’t shorting their craft. But even the most polished band needs its R&R, and this local act—featuring two former members of Washington Social Club— loves to curl up with a good book. That’s the impression, at ...

  Culture kills... wait, I mean cutlery — Authority: 127
  There are rules that every writer involved in the crafting of fiction has learned through rout memorization or from seeing positive examples of how to do things from quality work.

• Thomas Pynchon and Inherent Vice

  
  ARTS AMERICA — Authority: 107
  A fascination with the hot cars of their day. Writer Thomas Pynchon is fascinating, and not just because we grew up on opposite shores of Long Island. He was a North Shore beat guy, me a South Shore clamdigger a few years younger, but with aspirations. His writing tends towards offbeat themes: oddball names, ...

  Pechorin's Journal — Authority: 111
  Thomas Pynchon has a reputation as a challenging author. I’ve just finished The Crying of Lot 49, he lives up to that reputation. This is an extraordinary work, not one that apparently Pynchon himself rates but one that I definifely do. All that said, it’s complex stuff. Pynchon is most famous for his third ...
