Pynchon's Foreword

[Malignd]

<<The essay begins with an allusion to the Orwellian
year too: "As if being 1984 weren't enough, it's also
the 25th anniversary this year of C. P. Snow's famous
Rede lecture..." >>

Snow was dismissive toward both 1984 and Brave New
World.

Leavis thought Snow "intellectually as undistinguished
as it is possible to be."

Anthony Powell detested both Snow and Leavis.

A little Brit gossip ...
