-----------------------
A show with little action nor comedy.

Reading James Wood's collection of essays, The Broken Estate:  Disparages 
DeLillo and Pynchon for their paranoia, and how such mental states limits 
their characters. Strange what he likes in Melville in MD he doesn't like in 
Pynchon in M&D.  Much of his criticism is so minute that most of his 
impacted wisdom are pretty irrelevant to readers.
Ah, the life of a critic, to never hold any title to one's bosom as one's 
own.
