More Pynchon on Elegant Variation

[John Carvill]

REMAINS OF AGAINST THE DAY

"...After reading Kirsch's asinine assessment and Kakutani's predictable
dismissal, I have reached the conclusion that neither is equipped to
consider the counterfactual reality at work in Against the Day. One
thing is clear from Kirsch's review is that they don't know how to read
Pynchon. So many of Kirsch's proclamations about Against the Day could
easily apply to any of Pynchon's novels, which makes one wonder what
Kirsch is doing reviewing this book in the first place...."
