Chekhov's Mistress
Against the Fray
Levi don’t like Pynchon and ain’t afraid to say so, meanwhile we get a rare glimpse of Mr. Orthofer in a photo behind a copy of Against the Day and Ed froths. And me? I’ve read three other books since starting Gravity’s Rainbow not so very long ago, but I do find something attractive about an epigraph from Thelonious Monk in Against the Day because you might say there is a common thread between Monk’s music and Pynchon’s prose, at least that’s what I keep telling myself.

This reminds me of what Ralph Ellison had to say on how he fell in love with literature. He read “The Waste Land” and was utterly captivated because he felt that Eliot *wrote* the way Louis Armstrong *played*.
Meanwhile, take a wild guess as to which book is at the very top of my TBR list for Christmas break!
