Hi all,

Ken Jones asks:

course in which the entire GR was assigned?

Sure:  my undergraduate senior English seminar on Pynchon, at UC
Berkeley in 1981.  Taught by the redoubtable Thomas Schaub.  We read
Pynchon's entire oeuvre (this was pre-"Vineland" and even pre-"Slow Learner" 
-- we read photocopies of the short stories).

Best dam' class I ever took.  :-)
