It seems that Pynchon takes pleasure most in dancing around moral ambiguities,
but with no real point, except to say "watch out!"  But the ambiguities and
dangers he talks about are trite, and all of us knew about them long before he
decided to prophesy about them.  We expect more, but we get less.
