Does it work? Well, first remember that nobody nowadays, not even Don 
DeLillo, can do what Pynchon is doing here at this level of craft, 
intelligence and sheer range of knowledge.

I like the genre reading. P writes anatomy, encyclopdic satire. This has 
been said many time, Mendelson, Hollander, others.

Does his satire have a target? Is it corrective?  Weisenberger says,  no.


I say, yes.

His target is American Capitalism. His corrective is American Labor.
