Not that they were even together that long. Soon enough she was answering casting calls and getting some theatre work, onstage and off, and Doc was into his own apprenticeship as a skip tracer, and each, gradually locating a different karmic thermal above the megalopolis, had watched the other glide away into a different fate. — INHERENT VICE, Thomas Pynchon
” —- in Inherent Vice one detects a feeling that recalls Proust’s lament that “streets and avenues are as fugitive, alas, as the years.” Not only is the L.A. of that time lovingly re-created, it is also enthusiastically re-imagined as the endless, stoned-out summer many would like to remember it as.”
Thanks everyone who came to our monthly meetup today!
The Bookworms have selected Thomas Pynchon’s Inherent Vice as the new book of the month and we can’t be more excited. Specially since a movie treatment of this novel is in the works by none other than Paul Thomas Anderson!
Meeting: 6pm Sunday 9th June at Lamplighter Roasting Company
