You don't mean, do you, that Pynchon blurbed Going Native, The Famished
Road, or Godhead, do you? (That's a real question, not a flame: thanks.)
----------------------------------------------------------
Nope. But Going Native definitely has a "Pynchonian sensibility" to it
("Nonsense and Sensibility"),
though the book really peters out towards the end, not to mention its
brutality. Same with Arc D'X. I think I'm trying to satisfy the Pynchon
lust on all these bastard sons and daughters, dark doomsayers and
humorless psychophants . There is nothing like the real thing. I guess
that's why I like The Famished Road--didn't remind me of Pynch at all.
Ohh April april what dost thou mock me with your far away smiles....
