It seems to me that Pynchon's politics are rather complicated and that
his non-fiction publications don't make them any less so. Of course
Pynchon is not a supporter of fascism or totalitarianism. I think it's
safe to assume that he is not a big Bush supporter. OK, now what else
can you tell us about his politics from his non-fiction, Doug? Pynchon
describes Orwell as Left of the Left. Is this where you would place
Pynchon?
