So wait does Rachel get off to hanging out with guys and then diddling herself to the car?
Why did Benny tack up all those condoms? Everything else so far in this book is great but da fuck is being implied here besides sexual attraction to cars?
If you're that fucking stupid, stop now.

Edge with a hint of superiority, nice.
I don't understand what you're asking, been a while since I read the book, but yes, Rachel is in love with her Mg.
>>7436046
I mean I get that clearly, and the fact she most likely masturbates to it. What I don't understand is why he immediately ran off and nailed all those condoms to everyone's door.
Was he trying to send a message to this whole place not to try to fuck her?
>>7436053
Ohhhh right, I remember now. That part made zero sense to me. Also where Rachel calls Benny in the bus station early on. Two things I've no answer for.
>>7436064
I mean an estranged pseudo-romantic partner calling random bus stops in the middle of new years eve night is pretty in line with anything pynchon-esque, remined me a lot of TCOL49 with her calling that one bar when she was Albert
Just the whole condom thing is throwing me off.....
is this book antisemitic

It is and isn't?

Benny calling for Rachel? sure
But Rachel seems somehow above that to me, not in any moral or dignitary sense, just so much as she finds herself 'above' Benny
Dunno, whole part stuck out as super bizarre to me to the point where I wondered how literal the exchange was meant to be

two penises=v
v=vagina
two penises=vagina
gay sex=woman

Classic, the "pomo" joke! A great parody of angry undergads and flustered Jewish literary critics.

V. stands for vagina. Think about it...
>>7436191
apparently the nose job section was inspired by a jewish ex-gf who dumped him for being catholic
>>7437449
cool, thus reaffirming my theory that all great art comes out of getting back at women who slighted you
this book is shite
>>7435989
I don't remember anything about that. What page approximatly ?
>>7435989
Rachel is in love with her car, that is why she gets off on cleaning her car.
Benny has no real use for the condoms and Pynchon tells you his thought process when he's pinning them.

This. I don't remember exactly what it was about but it wasn't directly related to Rachel, and even then wouldn't be the strangest thing going on with those two in the book.

are you saying stencil is inanimate?
