Hahaha, I'm sorry. I meant how is Bleeding Edge? Would you recommend Pynchon?

Yes it;s a wry cultural look at Manhattan and the y2k generation I think postmodernism's answer to Stendhal but probably less romantic but at times so beautiful

I've been awfully curious as to how Pynchon has weathered, especially when faced with subject matter so, well, modern. I have faith in his ability to choose subject matter but whenever I see Bleeding Edge I get the feeling that, if I ever read it, it'll be with my fingers crossed hoping he doesn't come across as a withered old man in a foreign landscape.

Can't stress enough that it is the opposite of this. It couldn't be clearer that Pynchon has been avidly paying attention to the Information Age.
