Pynchon doesn't seem to attract "right wing" readers, although there was
that annoying person a while back whom everyone lighted into and
eventually drove away.
The "genre" types attracted to Pynchon seem to fall into at least three
categories:
the left, even the loony left;
science fiction aficionados;
the god hungry.
There may be others. Suggestions?
