Due respect

[Charles F. Albert]

To those who wish to rinse the feculent remnants of the recent NR 
hack job on Pynchon from their palates, I recommend the review by Rick Moody
in the current issue of the Atlantic Monthly. Listers will surely 
appreciate his well grounded takes on all the novels, including a 
kind word for VINELAND. Because I have not yet finished M&D, I did 
not read the passages dealing with it in the review, but it is clear 
that Mr. Moody respects, admires,(worships?) TRP's voice even more 
than his encyclopedic references, and opinion shared at this address.
You DWF fans better gird yourselves for the following:
"And that's why artists as diverse as William Gibson, Don DeLillo, 
Laurie Anderson, Steve Erickson,David Foster Wallace, James Cameron, 
Jonathan Franzen, and Salman Rushdie seem to have schooled themselves 
in the Pynchon academy of myth and language. With M&D we're again in 
the generous hands of one of American literature's TRUE MASTERS 
(emphasis mine).
