Life v. Art (was Re: Drugs in Pynchon's fiction

[Doug Millison]

At 1:16 PM -0400 10/29/99, Paul Mackin said, re reading GR, "To me it was
like the Madelaine in the tisane tea. A recovery of time lost--didn't have
to do with how I'd arrived at where I was NOW but what it was like before I
arrived there." I think my WWII-veteran father could have the experience of
letting TRP peel back a few layers of that onion for him, if he could just
relax and read GR. (Not likely, unfortunately.) TRP dissects the 20th
century in a way few authors have. Something like attending your own
post-mortem, if that makes any sense.
