Wile E. on Jury Duty

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Whilst serving my community and the illimitable amount of free time that 
avails one who is conscious of it, I had the distinct pleasure of 
devouring a few Pynch-related goodies, namely _Going Native_ by Steven 
Wright, _Arc D'X_ by Steve Erickson, _The Famished Road by Ben Okri.  The 
first had its moments, a nice amalgaman of warped characters and dazzling 
characterizations, Arc D'X  a interesting humorless tale which became not 
what I thought it would be, probably should go back to Black Clock at 
some point , the latter being the best of the group (you guys in S. 
Africa, ever had ogogoro--what's it like?).
Forgot Civil War Land in Bad Decline and Godhead but haven't finished 
those yet.
By the way _Sewer, Gas & Electric_ by Matt Ruffian is reviewed in Village 
Voice, 2/11/97. --Pynch credits that too.
