MDDM Ch. 72 Dixon and the slave driver

[Doug Millison]

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, Dave
-- s/he's an avatar of the "do as I say, not as I do"
school of listserve interlocutorship, trolling for
flames then hiding behind the skirts of others, 
inventing new personae to stir up and fling mud as
necessary when ideas come up that make her/im nervous.

Slow Learner is a good idea.  P-listers who find those
stories less than satisfying will have an opportunity
to explain why, if they wish.  

What I'd really like to do, however, is read P's
non-fiction, beginning with thesupport quotes (aka
cover blurbs), then moving through the various essays,
book intros, etc.

It is the Pynchon list, after all.  Melville, Nabokov,
etc. all have their own groups.  Henry Adams is fine
-- I re-read Mont St Michel and Chartres this spring
before my birthday trip to France and thoroughly
enjoyed it -- but I doubt that this group could make
it through one of his books, since Pynchon is the
dynamo for Pynchon-L, I don't think another author
could capture and hold attention for the length of
time necessary to read and discuss a book.
