Not much to do SPECIFICALLY with  V.--unless one sees Pynchon and certain
other writers as going out of their way--in an above average manner--to call
attention to the groundlessness of  language and writing and meaning . . .
though perhaps, again, P has not set out to deconstruct himself (whatever we
want to call it) but that  the  kidding around  he does so much of  just
turns out to be one and the same thing as deconstruction without the fancy
clothes (again, or whatever)?

Whatever and who knows???
