Today sees the release of Thomas Pynchon's new psychedelic noir Inherent Vice by Penguin Books. I have to admit I've grown very cold towards Pynchon's books in recent years. However, I still have great fondness for his eighties aging hippie fanstasia Vineland, and going on the following trailer, Vice is very much in that mold, and very much in the mould of the Coen's essential masterpiece The Big Lebowski. (A Jeff Bridges audiobook recording of this would be incredible!)
An hour later, with ten more miles and the visit to the World's Biggest Drugstore safely behind us, we were back at home, and I had returned to that reassuring but profoundly unsatisfactory state known as "being in one's right mind."
