Guerilla Pynchon


So maybe it's not "better" than your image per se, but I do like how this one embodies the sort of underground yet omnipresent cipher. Also, there's a sneaky camera sitting above the concrete wall that I'm sure would make the hair on any real paranoid's neck stand up.

Reviewing the calendar, I'm seeing that I actually have till Thursday with Lot 49, so I'll post again tomorrow through Chapter 6, incorporating more of your directives, with a more comprehensive post on Friday, including a lead-in to GR. I like that phrase "history-as-catastrophe" and I've been thinking about that a lot.

Wilco soon.

  2. Apparently the picture was taken somewhere down by the East River. It was on QuizzicalBandit's blogspot.
