>From the review of the same book:  

"Many writers thake their inspiration from Theodor Adorno's dictum that to 
write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric."

It is this, one believes, that led Pynchon--a young man with no experience of 
the war--to keep the Holocaust at the edges of his novel, to refrain from 
attempting a narrative he, certainly, lacked the stature (choose your own 
word) to address.
