Gaddis and Pynchon

[s~Z]

>>>Dismissing M&D because it doesn't live up to a
reader's "expectations" says more about that reader
than anything else.  Such a reader is sure to be able
to pick out this or that element of the novel in order
to justify her "disappointment."<<<

Every opinion we have says more about us than anything else. I suppose you
are implying that your opinions are somehow more purely objective.

>>>Reading Pynchon after GR seems to resemble, for some
readers,  chasing that first ecstatic peak of many a
youthful adventure, ever-elusive...the lesson may be,
move on.<<<

So the reason some don't like M&D is because we are less mature and
adventurous than you?
