Why I like Fromm's Behind better than P's Prick

[s~Z]

>>>Reading Pynchon's fictions its fairly obvious that he too does not write
attacks on religion (institutionalized, organized, etc.), but shows how
the compartmentalization of thought makes it impossible that all
political order (even atheistic ones) is justified and legitimated
through symbolic narratives that connect the respective society or
movement with a larger order of things.<<<

He doesn't really attack much of anything. He presents fictionalized
caricatures of a myriad of perspectives and suggests how they play
themselves out and interact with each other. And even having said that, the
playing out and interactions are still fiction. Like in real life. Which is
also a fiction. And is why we can't even agree here that all white swans are
white. We all tell different stories.
