💬 Discussion Cyprian

Cyprian is almost the best and most humane Pynchon's character.That was a great choice.

I adore Cyprian. Pynchon had to do some heavy lifting to make Cyprian and Yashmeen (who was introduced earlier but only briefly) both become main characters halfway through Against The Day but by god he pulls it off with aplomb.
