The great thing about TP is, I think we all agree, that he is encyclopaedic
in his range of knowledge and expression. My interest is in his political
expression. Terance has spent much recent energy on championing his
religious perspectives. A while ago he spent as much energy championing
Pynchon the satirist. The discussion on the p-list tends to measure our
priorities not Pynchon's.
If I had time to investigate TP's priorities I'd be looking for the aspects
in which he most strongly invests his passion rather than his intellect.
Were it possible to draw any conclusions about such investment in each of
his books one might be able to plot a trajectory of his development as a
reflective human being.
Cheers
Mike
