imagine a guy who tries all his life to be the new thomas pynchon, but fails because the real thomas pynchon won't let him

i was going to make this post after a few replies, but it looks like you beat me to it. anyway, ive heard that dfw fans are better at skim reading than most people, and are boring to hang around. i dont know if theres a link.

I'll see it too eventually, these movies almost always get picked up by premium cable channels. I watched the fifth estate yesterday and it was really bad.

So this guy is the literary equivalent of a one-hit wonder band from 1996, cool. Probably needed a biopic.
