You didn't read the review, at least not very closely.  He never said
Pynchon had bad syntax.  He said Pynchon is a list-maker.  He said
list don't have any syntax.  He badly extended this observation to say
that Pynchon's multiple stories are a sort of list also, and that they
therefore have no syntax (relation to each other - and to us).
