Homeland

[Tim Strzechowski]

"Homeland" may indeed have several historical connotations, but it's been used in a very *specific* and American sense post-9/11, and Pynchon (the astute NYC citizen and American author that he is) is not only aware of that sense.  It's a hard sell to convince me that it isn't being used in this Foreward in that very specific sense to convey his social commentary.  Arguments to the contrary seem to be making contradictions for their own sake.
