>>>the Psychoanalytic Literary Critic of Thomas Pynchon's fiction.<<< Why would anyone want to do such a dastardly thing to Pynchon's work? Have you seen the crap that they've done to Melville, Beckett, and others? On its own terms litcrit theory can be obnoxious enough, but when psychoanalytic theory is thrown into the mix it really gets 'deep.'
