>Just got my copy of _Pynchon Notes 40-41_.  So many interesting-looking
>articles -- on GR, Vineland, COL49 --  it's hard to know where to start.
>Once again I'll encourage you all to get this issue (info at

>Charles Hollander's article "Pynchon, JFK and the CIA:  Magic Eye Views of
>_The Crying of Lot 49_" alone is worth the price of admission.  He makes a
>bold claim ("To study _Lot 49_ is to decrypt Pynchon's encoded messages and
>enter split-level consciousness, to read the narrative against the subtext
>of historical allusions, to find how skepticism toward government is
>central to Pynchon's work. When we do, we find Lot 49 to be Pynchon's
>encrypted meditation on the assassination of President John Fitzgerald
>Kennedy.") and he backs it up with a detailed reading and prodigious
>research. Highly recommended.
