GR is about lots of things, and I've posted on more than a few of them. I
think the political dimensions are important, as well as the religious, the
mythological, the historical, & etc. I find it interesting to observe -- a
hoot, really -- a critical stance so dedicated to a particular view that it
denies very obvious references and allusions in Pynchon's texts. Like many
P-listers, I'm more dilettante than anything else, easily move from one
view to another, taking a rather catholic approach, although I certainly
return to my favored hobby-horses from time to time.

What do you think the novel is about?
