I've read the Pynchon Foreword, _1984_, the Afterword. If you have read
these I'm prepared to discuss them with you.
The Foreword is poorly written and ambiguous. But we can make out most
of it. Most of P says is old hat. Nothing profound. Nothing new. The
Fromm Afterword is good. I like it because it deals with religion.
The politics of the Foreword are not surprising.
Still don't know why P would write it. Does he need the money or what?
Maybe he just needs to keep his name out there.
Disappointing really. Not because I didn't know that Pynchon's e
politics are just like Doug's politics, but because he doesn't say
anything profound or interesting.
