VLVL Sketchy in spots?

[Toby G Levy]

I must have read the last line of Chapter 11 (where Frenesi screams and
Vond laughs) a dozen times trying to figure exactly what there was about
it that bothered me.  I have finally decided that it appears "sketchy" to
me, as if it was a note that the author wrote down intending to expand
upon the idea at a later date.  There are other spots in Vineland that
strike me this way as well.  I have long felt that Pynchon turned
Vineland over to his editor before he was really done with it.  Or maybe
he just got tired of working on it.  At any rate, it seems to me to be
the most "unfinished" of all Pynchon's novels.
