Just finished reading an interview with Lawrence Norfolk (in the Mail 
& Guardian). Needless to say, the following caught my attention, but 
we might have been through this already....
     He discusses his debt to Thomas Pynchon:"The technical thing of 
how to write prose with a lot of hard information in it. You have to 
turn description into a story; having a set of characters who are 
mouthpieces for theories is disastrous."
