Pynchon and the current situation

Sat Sep 22 23:30:18 CDT 2001

Oddly the assumption that nothing of great importance happened before the Sixties was not so uncommon a one while the events of that momentous decade still burned hot and shone bright. Preposterous as it now seems.

The world had been writ anew Not a few who should have known better tried to think so. Wanted so to believe. But Pynchon???

  .  Besides, Pynchon wrote that book in 1973.  I really doubt he was that interested in WWII  in 1973.
