M&D review in today's SF Chronicle

[Orlowsky at aol.com]

Today's San Francisco Chronicle contains a review of M&D full of lukewarm
praise:

"[M&D] is not quite the grand thesis on the world that Pynchon's fans have
been hoping for, or dreaming about. It's a wayward, loopy, often wonderful
work that strays about with a masterly abandon and an indifference to
suspense that are both disarming and wearing. It's awash with light and
charm, rich with suggestion and idea, stuffed with the minutiae of another
time and world. It's also tough slogging, silly and sentimental and hard to
recommend unequivocally to any but the most loyal of Pynchon's followers."

Is anyone but me planning to be at the Booksmith on Wednesday evening?
