Boomer myopia

[Will Layman]

Tiring and self-indulgent may describe AtD (I don't know -- I haven't  
gotten it yet), but I KNOW it describes MalignD's endless, grown- 
upper-than-thou posts in which he pretentiously takes everyone to  
task for not being more critical of Thomas Pynchon's writing.

Dude, we GET it.  You think this list puts Pynchon on a pedestal.   
You are man enough to criticize his writing, whereas we are a group  
of sickly sycophants who reflexively like him, warts and all.

How juvenile the silly songs are!  Those goofy names -- c'mon!   
Enough with the talking animals and the mysticism!  Check, check,  
check, Malign.

If we start ragging on the book, will you do us the favor of coming  
to its rescue?
