Science, Narrative, and Agency in Gravity's Rainbow-two questions

[Paul Celmer]

As a long-time lurker on this list (I was here back during the Koopman
spectacle) and a long time reader of Pynchon criticism (and have even added
some of my own to the pile), I found the essay "Science, Narrative, and
Agency" to be one of the more interesting and readable pieces I had ever
come across. I agree it is a bit "loose" in places, but that might be the
tradeoff for keeping the argument moving. And perhaps I am a bit biased in
that I am very interested in the rhetoric of science. Still, I was surprised
by the strength of the negative reaction to it on this list.

Have I just been suckered into another "Sokal Affair?"
I could not for the life of me find the name of the author of the piece on
the website. Anyone have it?



Thanks,

Paul
