PoststructuralistPynchon

[Terrance]

While film and Poststructuring is on my mind I'll take a
moment to peddle the Oklahoma City University Law Review.
Nicholas Spencer's essay, *The "Law of Simulated War in
Gravity's Rainbow* is worth the ten bucks you pay for the
nearly 900 pages of essay on Pynchon. I'm not a lawyer, I
don't even play one on TV, I'm not Post-anything, except
maybe post-too-much-to-pynchon-l, so if I can read it, so
can you. None of the essays are about the "Law" (what does
it mean when we put words in quotes anyway). 


"In its treatment of war Gravity's Rainbow shares many
features with poststructuralist theory, especially that of
Paul Virilio and Jean Baudrillard. Pynchon articulates the
post structuralist notion proffered by Michel Faucault,
Filles Deleuze, Felix Guattari and others that modern
societies are disciplined by military structures rather than
being ruled by law."
