VLVL2 Hosting / Discussion Schedule

[Tim Strzechowski]

P-Listers --

The group reading of Vineland begins its discussions on Monday of next week.  I'm finishing up a few things and researching a couple of others, but I will begin posting the material for Chapter One on Monday morning.

For my hosting stint, I plan to post a series of annotations to accompany the reading of the chapter in much the traditional Pynchon-L fashion, citing page/line and offering links where possible.  I will also post commentary to accompany the annotations, as well as a summary of the chapter, excerpts from criticisms that are relevant to the discussion at hand, lists of supplementary resources, general questions, etc. I will assume that readers here have read the novel before (or at least have read it in the past month or so in preparation for the group read), although at this point I do not plan to focus my discussion and analysis past the first chapter (in case anyone hasn't finished the reading yet).

My research is far from extensive, however, and I welcome any and all additional links, materials, insights, and experiences that will enhance the weeks of my hosting.  A group read is just that -- a group effort -- and while I may try to cover the basics of the chapter and ignite some discussion, I look forward to your input, debate, and questioning as well.


Here's the schedule for the first third of the novel:

July 14: pp. 1 - 13 -- Tim Strzechowski
