Arriaga Studios arriaga — The characters are great, especially Ava. The story careens forward with many strange things, alligators, ghosts, the swamp, but ultimately it is about loss and family. The book is well written and worth a read.

Adam Freeborn afreeborn — 'The experience, the experience. Haven't you learned?' Profane didn't have to think long. 'No,' he said, 'offhand I'd say I haven't learned a goddamn thing.'" Moral of the story: our entire trajectory, as animate humans, consists of nothing more than an inevitable progression from being animate to being inanimate. What? You don't find solace in this point? It makes you feel a bit uneasy, and, dare I say, paranoid? Welcome to Thomas Pynchon's world. "V." is my favorite Pynchon novel--quite the boast, as he is one of my very favorite writers. It holds this esteemed place for two main reasons: because in it he lays the thematic/philosophical foundations upon which all of his other texts are built, and I think that it is his most solidly written novel, at least in terms of "the novel" as a form, or structure, of writing. Yes, many of the themes and ideas are inchoate, and the text, at times, seems immature compared to his later works. But I think it lacks a lot of the over-calculation that tends to impede some of his other works. Pretentious? Perhaps, but I challenge you to write a novel like this at age 23. This novel flows (yeah, I said it!), challenges the reader, and draws from such disparate sources (hundreds of years of history, science, pop culture, high culture, art, etcetera). These aspects, among so many other in which Pynchon indulges, help to make this one of my most beloved books.

Ye-eun Choi rnalgh1124c6d3 — A powerfully humanistic look at the natural history of our deepest feelings. Their grasp of neural science is topnotch, but the book is more about humans as social animals and how we relate to others. A book which gives us a peek at how the brain plays second fiddle to the heart.
