Pynchon's New Book?

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

Is it too obvious to mention that it's also the
paradigmatic time and place of American naturalist
fiction, what with Dreiser, Norris, Sinclair [who
really was a Utopian, though] etc?

Then again, Pynchon is neither a Utopian nor a
naturalist, but like Musil (and unlike those no-
bullshit guys Broch & Gaddis), a "possibilitarian".
Instead of a Sister Carrie, await a Sister Curie...
