pynchon-l-digest V2 #1794

[Mike Weaver]

 From Terance

>I think he also admonishes his readers to be cognizant of
>the fact that the sickness  of idealism and  race and blood
>religiosity, the romantic nationalistic  dreaming of
>transcendent national teleology that infected Nazi Germany,
>while it is only a potential and NOT a reality in the USA,
>must be opposed whenever and wherever it begins to manifest,
>but not by the type of radical extremism that is too often
>said to be what Pynchon shows us in his fiction, not with
>theoretical and academic
>definitions (propaganda, i.e., "Globalization) and
>reactionary political protests for and against imagined
>leviathan and  Universal malignancy  but by practical
>activity and the affirmation of the particular experiences
>of individuals.
