Before responding to specific points in Keith's post, I'd like to ask him
a serious question:

What do you *like* about Thomas Pynchon's novels?

I wasn't able to detect what that might be from your post, as every novel
from V. to Vineland received some fairly devastating criticism, and  I
just don't have a clear sense of why you think TRP a worthy writer in the
first place.  Can you elucidate?  A-&--was there *nothing* in M&D that
you liked?  *Nothing* that amused, even?

just asking,
Chris

P.S.  Harrison Sherwood, where are yooooooou?!
