NP: [] THE ECSTATIC ADVENTURE

[Doug Millison]

Some of you may be interested in this book.  Just as some scholars 
see GR, and other Pynchon works, in the context of environmental 
thinking that was widespread while Pynchon was writing, others might 
see his treatment of drugs (L.S.D. mentioned in GR, for example) in 
the context of what people were saying about them at the time.  Your 
mileage may vary, of course.
