Pynchon's List

	The story of Oskar Schindler reassures Americans that
greed can lead them to morality, money-grubbing to grandeur, and this
reassurance seems central to the film's acceptance here as a Great Work
About The Holocaust. 
	What mythologies, I wonder, does Pynchon prop up?  Why have
literary Americans, for instance, so readily elevated him to the status of
Great Author?  That stature may not seem so evident to those outside
of the European diaspora . . .

Pynch teaches you don't need a lot of money to be a really
good, non-money-grubbing person.

All present company excluded.
