Gaddis and Pynchon

[MalignD at aol.com]

<< But what do you think "he" means? "He" being any of a number of voices 
along the great chain of narration, beginning with "you." >>

In this singular instance I mean the human being Thomas Pynchon, who doesn't 
know me from Adam.

<<could as easily be applied to your above adoration of GR, couldn't it?>>

If I was condemning of criticism, which I am not.

<<but plucking lines randomly, without providing any clue as to your own 
sense of their meaning, does not count as anything.>>

I'm noting style, not content.  You have a copy; take a look, see if I'm 
being particularly unfair.
