Reviewing The Corrections in the Sunday Times Book Review, David Gates writes:

"Sure, I guess it's a no-no to put stuff in your book that doesn't pay off, 
but I can't scrape together much outrage when I'm basically having a good 
time.   Anyhow, you have to expect a degree of indeterminacy in an ambitious 
novel these days; an intricately, perfectly paranoid book like Pynchon's 
'Crying of Lot 49,' in which everything seems to have some sinister relation 
to everything else, now seems as quaintly formalist as 'The Waste Land.'"
