Just for the Record

[Richard Romeo]

I reiterate that there are plenty of good books.  For those who's boat is 
floated by the likes of Philip Roth and Saul Bellow, fine.  It can be argued 
that their vision is more acclimated in most cases to the ascendant 
solispistic narrator, usually male, worried about, usually, females.  Blame 
the academy for the placing of such writers in the traditional frame, not 
me.  But from what I've read of them, I believe they are far removed from 
"traditional" post-moderns like Pynchon, Gaddis, and Coover, e.g., who 
incorporate more of the outside world into their texts, whether it be film, 
mythology, aspects of the supernatural, hard science, and the like.
