The Whole Thing

[LARSSON at vax1.mankato.msus.edu]

Penny Padgett informs us:
"Ken Jones asks:
 
> ... has anyone here ever taken (or know of someone who's taken) a
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)."


We read the Whole Thing (as well as V. and COL49) in a seminar at U of Wisconsin
taught by Ray Olderman (who preceded Schaub).  Actually, I had to read it 3
times in a row just to begin to figure out what was going on!

But that too was a Memorable class.
