Doc Sportello

Probably.

I wonder if there is a doc Sportello haunting East Los Angeles right now.

Um, I don't know what the role is now.

I was looking around for some contemporary.

It's just a delightful, like Pynchon does not look down his nose at detective novels in this.

Like he obviously was like, no, I really want to write a private eye novel.

And there's a part of me that wonders like, what if he had written just like 10 doc books to

end his career? So it's not a spoof of them.
