ŒNeutrality¹? I find it hard to see that that, exactly, is what
characterizes Pynchon¹s novels. Concepts like, for instance, Œgrace¹ and
Œindifference¹ can hardly be predicated Œneutral.¹

(ŒFear,¹ even?) How about a text¹s tendency then? Avoiding speculation about
the author doesn¹t eliminate tendencies‹or non-neutralities‹in the text.
