(1) So... what's "Beyond"? The "Zero"? --Anyways...
It seems to me like Roger and Jessica are so far away from happiness.
Slothrop often seems happy albeit dopey. Pynchon can seem heavy-handed
in they way he leads me (without "telling" me) to like or not like his
characters -- otoh this leads me into a pretty deep level of
introspection which can be pleasant.
(2) So what?!! 'S beyond the Zero anyways!
Some scenes in this first book have given me a fairly pure laughter
response -- there's no arguing with _that_.
