Mhnnmfff. Lazy people read Pynchon as fantasy, as anything-goes
surrealism. But Pynchon is a strict realist of the Tellurick World,
observing it in fine detail and describing its beauty with the Tongue
of a Nature-Poet, then describing elliptically other Layers of
existence Superimpos'd. And they read Pynchon as a commentator on
"contemporary American politics," forsooth, when that is but Toys for
his Nursery; he is after much bigger Game.
