Thomas Pynchon
The hand of Providence creeps among the stars, giving Slothrop the finger.
Thomas Pynchon
But a few choosing to venture deeper into the painful corridors of their affliction, found after a while that they could now grind and polish ever more exotic surfaces, hyperboloidial and even stranger, eventually including what we must term ‘imaginary’ shapes (which some preferred to term invisible).
Thomas Pynchon
