Pynchon Interview Playboy Japan -- Translation Questions

[S.R. Prozak]

> A Man They Call Pynchon:

Nietzsche calls this a form of resentment, and revenge. He's right. No healthy person would feel this.

> Barbara:

The rich should be rounded up and put into gas chambers for not wanting to lower themselves to the levels of the generalized masses? How revengeful.

> Given the Pynchon family's income bracket, past and present, you're saying
> it sounds like Pynchon because he's generally such an hypocrite? And
> prejudiced?

WASP guilt - it's easier than designing a long-term solution. Find an enemy instead, even if it's you. A predominant reason why many of us quit being liberals.
