When I was in my early 20's I read a bit of postmodern literature. I read some John Barth and I read this. I read The Crying of Lot 49 because it was short. Back in the days, I used to avoid books that were over 300 pages. I found them too much of a challenge. My attention would wander. Now I don't have that problem at all. I remember liking it so I read it fifteen years later. I still enjoyed it. It's kind of like a postmodern Alice in Wonderland. A woman finds out about a secret postal service and it leads her down a rabbit hole. I enjoyed the band obviously a parody of The Beatles. I like The Beatles too. One of these days now that long books don't overwhelm me anymore I got to read Gravity's Rainbow. I bought it and put it on the bookshelf. It's just waiting for the read.
