In Pynchon’s tales, music is the backbeat

The Boston Globe writes, In Pynchon’s tales, music is the backbeat "There is one American writer, however, whose fiction is the literary equivalent of a vast box set: a blissful, bizarro anthology of rock, jazz, pop, blues, country, show tunes, novelty numbers, you name it. Thomas Pynchon’s novels are like a giant jukebox just waiting to happen. Some of the songs are real, some are imaginary. All of them Pynchon makes his own. No other American writer has put so much music into his fiction."

I can't say I like reading Pynchon, but I like reading about Pynchon.
