Santa Maria: In Praise of TP

[jbor at bigpond.com]

Nice little reader's tribute:

About books: In praise of Thomas Pynchon
by Michael Santa Maria. _English Journal_ 89.6. Urbana: Jul 2000, pp. 
136-7.

Excerpt
[...] It dawned on me that Thomas Pynchon was perhaps America's 
greatest unread novelist. With an end of the millennium spirit still in 
the air, why shouldn't he be reevaluated and respected for the visions 
he shares with us? [...] (p. 136)

Santa Maria was understandably "disappointed" by _Vineland_ but finds 
_M&D_ to be his "warmest and most beautiful" book.

Pdf available.
