It's About AMERICA!!!!!!!

[Malignd]

<<Pynchon's use of today's buzzword, homeland, brings
9-11 and Nazi Germany and the rest into the Foreword.
It's in the text, "homeland". >>

A reader sees the word "homeland," reads it as a
buzzword, and connections form in that reader's mind. 
Reader then conflates the writer's intention with his
own overheated politic views and, believing he speaks
for Pynchon ("both/and, remember?") believing,
perhaps, that he is Pynchon, gobbles:

"Without 9-11, Thomas "a screaming comes across the
sky" Pynchon is the wrong man to provide context for
_1984_ at a moment when tens of milions of people
around the world condemn the US for its aerial
terrorizing of Afghanistan then Iraq, blood for oil,
naked US imperialism, swaggering macho monopoly
capitalists with weapons of mass distruction at their
command, and observing that the convergence of
computer and communications technologies now permits
-- in the US as in no country before -- government and
corporate leaders to know intimate secrets of private
behavior and manipulate them in a way that puts Their
motivation of Pirate Prentice to shame."
