A grandiose tale of nuance. There are minute imperfections and sprawling, even messy plotting, complementing the flawed characters colliding in a busy world. In conjunction with a through-line of unshakeable epic scale and classical brilliance, it feels as if it was always a contemporaneous period piece - the urban Western.

“… and wait. For whatever would happen. For a forgotten joint to materialize in his pocket. For the CHP to come by and choose not to hassle him. For a restless blonde in a Stingray to stop and offer him a ride. For the fog to burn away, and for something else this time, somehow, to be there instead.” (Inherent Vice, Pynchon)
