There is one more thing to say, and then I'll just drop it. On the
matter of literature decades before chaos "proper," isn't it a bit of an
overstatement to suggest that writers have, from antiquity to the
present, condsidered in their art the nature of order and chaos? That we
have a more systematic way to speak of these inquiries makes them no less
intriguing. Please don't confuse my arguments with any search for
any truth about what Pynchon meant. I am, as Tim Ware says,
investigating that "magical interface between text and reader" (sorry if
it's not verbatim.)
Reading this over, I notice a very childish voice opening the post.
Forgive me, please.
