Bloom on Pynchon

[Spencer T. Campbell]

What's the list's feeling on West's "Dream Life of Balso Snell"?
Seems to get written off completely by his admirers and detractors
alike.  I'll be the first to admit that it's no Lonelyhearts or Day of
the Locust, but I've always felt it was hilariously surreal and quite
worthy of one's attention.
