Thomas Pynchon Quotes

An Old Gordita Reflex, Dating Back To Shortly After The Second World War, When A Black Family Had Actually Tried To Move Into Town And The Citizens, With Helpful Advice From The Ku Klux Klan, Had Burned The Place To The Ground And Then, As If Some Ancient Curse Had Come Into Effect, Refused To Allow Another House Ever To Be Built On The Site. The Lot Stood Empty Until The Town Finally Confiscated It And Turned It Into A Park, Where The Youth Of Gordita Beach, By The Laws Of Karmic Adjustment, Were Soon Gathering At Night To Drink, Dope, And Fuck, Depressing Their Parents, Though Not Property Values Particularly.
