Laurie Anderson asked Thomas Pynchon for permission to adapt Gravity's Rainbow - and he replied

So do it then? I'll do it if you wont

Pretence and a bore

So no banjo opera then.

Knowing Pynchon, that's actually how he envisioned what the songs in Gravity's Rainbow sounded like. He's literally right on the line between genius and madness and his whole life he's been jumping back and forth over that line like Jack Sparrow. Is he brilliant or insane? Does he really plan it all out or only make it all up as he goes? The answer is always "Yes".

lol the blonde woman in the background looks so offended ahahah.

That’s really exquisitely perverse.

No one beats Pynchon when it's come to being a troll. He is the king of them all.
