There's more to his work than that, it's one of the
many points Pynchon makes.  It's a neat-sounding but
reductionist way of trying to put him in a box: 
"Pynchon, he's the guy who ____, that's all you can
say about him." "No way out" - I don't think so, in
fact he shows a way out:  Slothrop's dissolution.

I *try* to see a Pynchon who is a human being, an
artist, a man of his generation of and of the world,
and I continue to try to understand more about him in
his various aspects. I guess, ultimately, somehow
that's a limited view, although it would seem to
accommodate unlimited investigation and learning, not
the bleak road block - this way, no other -  you erect
each time we come to this point in the discussion.  

But that's OK.
You are what you see, as you say, and if that's all
there is to say, then say it. No way out.
