AtD and 9/11

I think Pynchon's
been searching for longer, broader and more complicated puns, sillier and
funnier acronyms, more bizzare character names with more layers of allusion 
and
intertextual reference, more surrealism, more disjunct combos like 
osteopaths in
gunfights in the Olde Wild West. I think that man's true!
  craft
has become, primarily, the craft of a comedian.

That's a devilish commentary, tempting and discouraging simultaneously. I 
want to beleive that complicated puns etc. will be geared to something 
substantial in terms of ideas.
