globalization & Pynchon?

[Doug Millison]

Pynchon offers up quite a bit for consideration in M&D, published in '97. He
seems to have kept up to date with his politics.  Prominent in this novel is
a savage critique of the corporation in the time of its infancy, which of
course lies at the heart of the continuing colonialization of the world by
global capital. Intertextual connections with Vineland, GR, and V. would
seem to make explicit the continuity of Pynchon's political concerns in M&D
with those of the earlier novels.

Phil Wise:
 we may have to await a future Pynchon novel for
him to actually directly concern himself with the phenomenon.
