One of the wonderful things about a list like this one is
that we can search the archives, but I have not been able
perform a word search of the archives for some time now.
What's up?
Why is it that when critics insult each other in the endless
and often rediculous battle of the books they will turn to
Yeats' The Second Coming?
How often can the critics dip their slanderous pens in the
poem, fanning the flames with their published farts like a
bellows full of angry wind?
"Still it remains that the best theory lacks all conviction,
when it comes to Pynchon, while the worst of Pynchon's
criticism is full of anti-theoretical intensity."
McHoul and Wills
"In fact, of course, 'demoralizing' is ironic here, as even
a cursory reading of the larger context would show (and
McHoul and Wills have given this paper a good deal more than
a cursory reading)"
McHale

PS could some one with those Pynchon Notes please post the
"Theatre" and "Theater" pages.
