They're waking me up from my bad hippy dream.

It's about the turn from the 60s into the 70s when things got deeply weird and sinister. Time itself is inherent vice.

Deep

The paragraph about the fist of the 70s crushing the happy adventures of the 60s is seriously underrated.

You got Pynch'ed.

Really disliked it
I should've started it without any expectations but from what I heard about Gravity's Rainbow I thought I was going to get something a bit complex, so probably a bad idea for this to be my first pynchon book

But honestly it just read like an action movie script written by hunter s thompson

The perfect example of a book underrated by pseuds.

Reread it again and pay attention. I don't think you fully understand the Golden Fang.

Pynchon ends up hating hippy culture. Vineland has more on this.

>>8262119
Have not read Vineland but is it possible that this is because hippy culture was often defined by people not truly committed to dream of the 60s of personal freedom? Cause Inherent Vice seems to be about the death of that dream because people are too inherently greedy and power hungry too sustain it.

>mfw confused throughout the entire book

i understood more in Gravity's Rainbow even. maybe it was all the dialogue

I'm planning on read this next. I loved Gravity's Rainbow and the movie even though I did understand what was happening.

The movie was hilarious and I didn't really try to pay too much attention because I want to save that for when I read the book. It still had that Pynchon vibe and reminded my of TCOL49.

>mfw i know what pynchon is referencing in the title

Sorta. He thinks they basically sold out and become yuppie scum, or are naive dumbasses, also it was co-opted from the start

PTA left a lot out of Inherent Vice. I don't know if that was intentional or due to the constraints of Hollywood. I'm really hoping he's cut a 5 hour cut that will get a Criterion release.
