Jan, since things seem to be easier for you than for a pathetic litnit
like me, could you tell for starters what you mean by concepts as 
"revolutionary" or "political"? Papa Jameson tells in one of his latest
books that _Vineland_ is clearly more "political" than Pynchon's
previous novels. Were we to believe uncle Fred, is _Vineland_ then, 
consequently, also more "revolutionary" than the others?  

But IF it is _GR_, not _Vineland_, that is Pynchon's most "political" 
novel (which would make Duke Fredric's views of "political" 
anachronistic), what are we left with?  

Brotherly,
Heikki
