Pynchon new book not best. Still fun. Or, for a more detailed cave-painting: Ugh. New book good. Old book better. Still make laugh.

Big talk around fire for new story-rock. Story-rock called “Shadow Rock.” It tell tale of look-see man who also dance. Look-see man hunt for lost woman. She is daughter of big chief who make much good milk-curd. She is milk-curd chief daughter, gone from cave. Story get more bonk-on-head from there. Dance-man find many strange things on hunt. Story not like normal hunt for mammoth or sabertooth. This story make you laugh and scratch head. Many funny things happen. It is story for when sky is dark and fire is warm. Ooga, a local berry gatherer: "Me like story-rock! Look-see man dance funny. Story so strange, make my brain hurt good. Me want more tale of milk-curd mystery." Gronk, a rock-knapper: "Story too silly. Man should use spear, not happy feet. Where is big fight? Where is hunt? Me want story with more GRR, less dance." Chief Zog, Keeper of the Cave Tales: "New stories make tribe smart. 'Shadow Rock' make us laugh loud. Laughter is good, keeps cold dark away. We need more bonk-on-head stories." Story by Ugg from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
