As I said in the first post on this: 

 We should not even waste our time with authorial intent. 

And in my second post: 

But once you begin attributing these open responses to the
text (putting aside questions about authorial intent for the
moment),  to "those Pynchonian texts," what you are arguing
is how and why those "Pynchonian texts" generate these
various open and complex and intense readings.
