I keep looking at this and thinking about that Pynchon character who thinks a national socialist chemistry can be built with ionic bonding and that covalent bonds are liberal and gay. RIP Laslo Jamf you would have tried to build a chemistry based on lead instead of carbon if you were real

Maybe you know the drill: metahistorical intrigue and antiauthoritarian politics; several deep benches’ worth of quirky characters toting loudly emblematic affectations and not-strictly-probable names...

I had a really vivid dream that I was designing the cover for the next Thomas Pynchon novel. I was worried it was too simple, but knew it was the right design so submitted it anyway.
It’s stayed in my head for days so I’ve had to make it in real life. I hope I get the gig. @tompynchon.bsky.social

A Bibliometric Overview of Pynchon Studies: Introducing the Thomas Pynchon Online Bibliography (TPOB)
The Belgian bibliographer and independent scholar Michel Ryckx created and maintained the world’s most extensive bibliography of Thomas Pynchon scholarship on his website Vheissu.net from 2002 through 2022. This article introduces a new resource, the Thomas Pynchon Online Bibliography (TPOB), which transforms Vheissu.net’s extensive Pynchon bibliography into an open bibliography on Zotero, a free, open-source, and widely-used reference management software, with bibliographic metadata for each item, and extensively updated with entries and additional metadata for its 1.0 release. TPOB can assist scholars in locating Pynchon studies on specific topics, by specific authors, in specific languages, etc. The TPOB dataset also supports the investigation of novel insights into Pynchon studies, and may contribute to contemporary bibliometric literary studies more broadly. This paper presents exploratory experiments on the Pynchon studies metadata in TPOB including studies by year and page count, text-to-commentary ratio, formal features of bibliographic titles, intertextual fields, and semantic web.

Ordered the new #pynchon novel from an American seller on eBay because I don't like the artwork on the UK edition, and instead a performance carbuteror for a moped turned up! Seems like it was meant to go to Puerto Rico
