Can Pynchon write (yet)?

No doubt, and authors use lots of ways to evoke
emotion  in addition to writing characters -
descriptions of landscape, buildings, objects, etc.
all work towards creating an emotional setting for the
reader or in the reader, however you want to slice it.


A character doesn't have to be much of anything,
really,  to evoke big emotion.  How about characters
created solely through dialogue, with no physical
description, no backstory supplied by a third-person
omniscient narrator.  A scrap of dialogue, a gesture
perhaps, some kind of background - rich pickin's in
the right hands.

Both ways, Pynchon's writing convinces.  Everything on
the page contributes to building an atmosphere,
deepening it through allusion and direct reference to
other works of art, other times, places, bringing it
to life through the actions of characters who are
themselves more or less complex, multifaceted, but
always, somehow, "alive."
