Reading and discussing Pynchon's texts

the Author saying, rather what did he write that caused you to have that

with you?  What coheres the POV for you?  What breaks the POV for you?
Does that break in POV change the emotional and psychological reaction?
In what manner?  Does this progress the story?  Is the piece effectively
bringing about a coherent POV?  An understandable plot?  A consistent
character?  What, in other words, in the artistic process has caused
your perceptions?  Your emotional and psychological response?<<

Setting up all these methodological ground rules is fine and dandy, but
are
you ever actually going to say something about one of Pynchon's texts?< 

I agree, JB.  I'm working on it and I promise to get something out
(perhaps with the Vineland review?) soon.  Last weekend was jam packed
with SAT test proctoring...
