globalization & Pynchon?

[Jane Sweet]

That Pynchon, a wealthy author, and his family,  continue to
do business with Penguin and Holtzbrink, and a host of
other  major corporations,  tells me that he's not against
doing business with corporations. 

Does that make sense? 

If he condemns the very idea of  corporations, of corporate
structures, of capital, or global-capital, if he is a
radical in the sixties mold that you seem to have in mind,
maybe not quite Red but very Pink, I would think he would
not Publish his books with CBS and Holzbrink and some of the
worlds most aggressive global-capitalists. 

Does that make sense? 

I don't need to ask Pynchon about this. I'm speculating just
as you are. You have no idea and I have no idea  if Pynchon
has a Portfolio of stocks and bonds and real estate that
includes IBM, BASF, Pennzoil, a Real Estate Investment Trust
that has Prisons in its basket of investments  and sits on
the board of 25 corporations. 

I guess, that just as other authors name people and
companies and concerns in their books of fiction that they
don't like and make them out to be villains, Pynchon has
done the same, but his critique of course the corporations,
like the church, like most institutions of power are the
stuff that makes for good satire. Just because P does the
obvious, the traditional, the old middle finger to the
powers that be, doesn't mean he condemns corporations. Does
it?
