MDDM World-as-text

[Doug Millison]

Text can mean whatever anybody wants it to mean, but
if it means everything, then it doesn't mean much of
anything. This argument has slipped over the edge into
word games.  Pynchon does seem to use his text,
however, to make meaningful distinctions between
approaching experience as something that can be sliced
and diced and analyzed and controlled (text) and an
approach to experience that honors it on its own
terms, a letting be, a "mindless pleasure".  If "text"
means all of experience, you throw out Pynchon's
distinction.
