For now and for all time: this is the FIRST EPISODE of Death/Corner.  It was a bad joke.  I regret it.  God help me.

I’m reading this one for the first time. Page 83 seems to hold the most overt hints as to what Pynchon’s trying to communicate: Far Eastern/Latin Am. universities, commitments chosen that bring down gov’ts, Bancroft Way, Secretaries James and Foster, Senator Joseph, etc.

Page 110, Hilarious: “They walk through walls.” Reminds me of the scene from The Men Who Stare At Goats where the officer stands up and runs into the wall. Huh.

Just the jolt my social media addled brain needs to persevere with ol' mate Pynchon

Hi I didn't read the caption but I wanted to ask where the previous 66 episodes are?

Dammit. I guess I have to move this book to the front of the queue.

Sorry. Unless I’m supposed to pretend I’ve read it already.

The best is, its a really pretentious bit, so it's extra funny that it annoys you and nobody else (I think it's cute)

Lol I remember being so confused by this when I first started listening. I appreciate the joke

I love the joke. It makes me feel like I'm listening to contraband.

I actually loved the gimmick. It was a good hook.

Insanely good first episode ever

Dara Higgins

Is the fact this episode is all about inherent vice and not lot 49 also some joke I'm not in on?
