Pynchon & rap

[David Morris]

Thank you, Thomas, for about as clear a sorting of this F-ing innane 
"Holocaust-denial" topic as has ever made it to this list!

>From: Thomas Eckhardt To claim that it is obvious that the Holocaust is a 
>central theme in GR is ridiculous and insulting to the novel ("Have you 
>read Thomas Pynchon's novel GR?" "Yes, it deals with the Holocaust." "What 
>does it say?" "The Holocaust was bad."). No, the difficulty is how to 
>account for this relative absence. jbor might perhaps state that it shows 
>that the Holocaust is not that important in GR, or that it is subsumed 
>under larger issues. I would perhaps claim that the Holocaust might be 
>perceived as a central theme of GR precisely because of its relative 
>absence. We could then go on and discuss this, although we both know that 
>to argue convincingly one point or the other would take an essay or a book, 
>and even then we would be far from being able to term the issue "resolved". 
>Big deal, that's what we're here for.
