Derek Barker asks,
How are Pynchon's undergrounds a response to
the political crisis of apathy and voicelessness posited by Hannah
Arendt?

IMHO, it is Vineland and M&D and not GR, Entropy, and COL49, that are
most relevant here. For our current discussion of Vineland, see 'The
Human Condition" ch2, The Public and Private Realm. Man: A social or a
Political Animal. Power to the people vs BV's National Family.
