Estou torcendo para que o filme (youtu.be/wZfs22E7JmI) que está vindo aí torne o Pynchon mais famoso. O cara é hilário: [Brigadier Pudding] started in on a mammoth work entitled Things That Can Happen In European Politics. Begin, of course, with England. First, he wrote, Bereshith, as it were: Ramsay MacDonald can die. By the time he went through resulting party alignments and possible permutations of cabinet posts, Ramsay MacDonald had died. Never make it,he found himself muttering - It`s changing out from under me. Oh, dodgy, very dodgy When it had changed as far as German bombs falling on England, Brigadier Pudding gave up his obsession and again volunteered his services. [...] Instead [in his new position], he found a disused hospital for the mad, a few token lunatics, an enormous pack of stolen dogs, cliques of spiritualists, vaudeville entertainers, wireless technicians, Couéists, Ouspenskians, Skinnerites, lobotomy enthusiasts, Dale Carnegie zealots, all exiled by the outbreak of war from pet schemes and manias damned, had the peace prolonged itself, to differing degrees of failure. Curiosamente, essa ideia dele não é válida hoje em dia: ninguém mais precisa de uma guerra para dar subsistência à suas loucuras - é pra isso que existe o Kickstarter.
