Bookish symmetries

In response to Michael's post, I tried to make it clear that I'm
not advocating 'bookish symmetries' criticism of Pynchon.  'Hey,
Baudrillard talks about the acceleration of referents, a-and Pynchon
does too--in almost the same diction!  Pynchon anticipated Baudrillard!'
My point was simply that GR, AO & ATP do seem to enmesh themselves
without the kind of painful prostheticization/suturing process that
can take place when a theorist/critic is connected to a work.
But fin again stein sound biting has cooped me in, makes me
realize that dissing aint hip.
