Stone Junction?

[Tore Rye Andersen]

Yes, the intro to "Stone Junction" is certainly relevant w/r/t AtD. The 
Pynchon essay I thought  most about when reading AtD, however, was the 
introduction to "1984", especially Pynchon's remarks about anger being a 
valuable asset for an author. After the relatively mellow Vineland and M&D, 
it seems to me as if Pynchon has discovered his precious anger once again. 
It might have something to do with the Bush administration, it might not - 
whatever the causes, AtD certainly seems to be Pynchon's angriest novel 
since GR.
