Pynchon in Public Podcast
Twelve: Pancakes, Lots of Pancakes
In which we continue our discussion of Inherent Vice, moving on to chapters 10 through 13. Has Doc actually made any progress on the case? Is his investigation(s) unravelling, or reality itself? Is Doc an agent of chaos? Are Doc and Bigfoot maybe something more than adversaries? Is there a little bromance in their relationship? Can we trust Doc as our focal character? Are we even asking the right questions?
