Leslie Fielder wimps out

[Toby G Levy]

>From an interview in today's Salon:

Q: How about Pynchon? 

"I've had a tough time with Pynchon. I liked him very much when I first
read him. I liked him less with each book. He got denser and more complex
in a way that didn't really pay off.  You had to work twice as hard for
half as many returns."

Q: How about Don DeLillo? 

"I don't really like his writing much. He does many different things. In
some ways, he never seems committed to me to what he is writing. Very
nice surfaces, but he's got nothing underneath. I keep feeling I'm unfair
to him. I talk to many people, and he's one of the few contemporary
novelists who still has enthusiastic followers. "
