Oh, no! War talk on Pynchon-L?

[Doug Millison]

Quail:  "I think what you mean is, "Disagree with my
interpretation of Pynchon's serious treatment..." Yes? "

No.

If you want to disagree with something I've written, please do. If what you
say makes sense, maybe I'll agree with you and change my mind, maybe not.

 I asked Rich:  "What's unclear about Pynchon's concerns with war,
complicity in war crimes, multinational corporations profiting from war,
etc. ? That's material that P comes back to in his fiction and non-fiction
writing again and again.  I'm asserting that P takes these issues seriously
in his writing -- a non-controversial statement, surely -- , and that makes
them fair game for discussion on the P-list. "

 Free free to interpret and rewrite this simple statement as you wish,  but
don't put your words in my mouth.
