Внутренний порок (Index Librorum)

The city feels like a character itself, full of quirks and chaos. I wonder how much of the vibe was inspired by actual events or Pynchon's personal experiences.

The narrative weaves through so many characters and details that I almost missed the main thread. Was this a deliberate choice to create a sense of wandering or confusion?

It kept me guessing and added to the mystery, but I wonder if Pynchon considered a more straightforward approach. Did the structure enhance or hinder your engagement?
