The Embattled Keith Strikes Back!

Your anti-Pynchon rant remains hopelessly vague and bilious, in the face of
multimegabytes of Pynchon-L  archives overflowing with detailed reasons why
some of us enjoy, study, and discuss Pynchon's works, including M&D. I'll
restrain myself from sending an SASE and make a brief response to the heart
of your complaint.

Very few writers usher us any deeper into the mystery, nor can they. The
only literature I know of that doesn't stop at that point is, quite
literally, scripture; even then, getting any deeper seems to require
serious intent on the reader's part, and grace.

Good luck,
Doug
