Those Hollander Essays Again

[Dave Monroe]

Thanks, Otto!  You've saved me not only some typing,
but xeroxing and postage expenses as well (I've been
sending this one around).  Holander's essay, by the
way, addresses those questions being raised about the
Pynchon family fortunes--not to mention the Pynchon
family fortune--being raised here.  Indeed, it might
initially have raised them.  And, as Otto indicates,
whether or not you ultimately agree with everything he
has to say, it certainly is nice to be able to work
that out firsthand.  I'd add that, even if you don't
necessarily agree with his interpretations,
inferences, premises, conclusions, what have you,
Hollander does some extraordinary legwork, research,
ideas, even, that one might use in one's own readings,
whether or not they accord with Hollander's.  Along
with Eddins' The Gnostic Pynchon, some of the most
interesting, provocative, and challenging Pynchoniana
I've read since signing on here.  Always something to
be learned on the Pynchon-List ...
