....and he is not exactly pleased.

BTW, I thought Tom LeClair knew his Pynchon. He claims in the review that 
"Gravity's Rainbow is the most important novel I've ever read", but 
apparently he hasn't bothered to read Vineland. Otherwise, how explain this: 
"Although Against the Day reuses only one Pynchon character name I 
recognize, O. I. C. Bodine, a seaman, it redeploys numerous types, 
situations, and references from earlier Pynchon novels." What about those 
Traverses, eh?
