And go Eric. I think you have articulated my opinion about the
holocaust in GR as well. Neither the war, nor the holocaust, are
central to GR. Pynchon is brilliantly addressing the deeper issues, in
all of their complexity, behind the historical events of that era. So,
yes, the book is in a sense 'about' the war and the holocaust. But
both are given scant direct attention because he is dealing with the
big picture; spiritually, economically, intellectually,
philosophically, and politically.
