Most Tellurick Tom

There is truly no way that I--nay, not even I--can do justice to that which, in fits and starts and my own ignorance unyielding, I have just managed to "read." That would be Thomas Pynchon's most indescribably brilliant, intricate, unfathomably dense and hysterically funny Mason & Dixon. For although I have listed other books in my recent posts--quite marvelous creations to be sure--there is not one amongst them that compares to this freakishly nuanced, never-ending riff upon themes Sacred and Profane (The Sacred and The Profane generally being precisely the opposite of that which one might presume). Fuck You, Tom . . . for the shameless Inducement of many an Insomniackal Night.
