Lowery + Brezny + Pynchon

[Alex Hunley]

The Stephenson/Pynchon comparison bothers me.  It seems to be like a
publisher's ploy to get impressive blurbs for Stephenson's dust jackets, but
I've heard it echoed elsewhere.  While, yes, they both write idea-laden
historical fiction, P's language is in a whole different solar system.
Stephenson strikes me as what might result from a synthesis of Pynchon and,
say, Stephen King - good ideas, but painfully verbose.
