Trying to analyze something as "PoMo" would seem to fall into the same
"Analysis and Control" category, subject to the same Pynchonian ridicule.

It's interesting that trying to "define" postmodernism in traditional terms,
attempting to "tether" it as a genre to some sort of linear chronology,
premature (and wishful) announcements of its "death" and the like, are all
part and parcel of that whole "Analysis and Control" schtick which Pynchon
ridicules and condemns throughout his novels and published non-fiction.
