Time Inc's Entertainment Weekly has a not-unexpectedly supercilious review 
of M&D in the May 9 issue -- "Pynchonites will swarm over M&D, a great 
beached whale of a new novel, examining its entrails for signs and 
portents ... [yadda yadda yadda] You don't so much read it as tunnel 
through it, looking for the signs of literary genius that are certainly 
there -- or, if you're a Pynchonite, looking for deep, esoteric 
illuminations that certainly aren't."

They give it an A-.

Cheers,
Paul
