Why leave out half the fun?

Who besides academic specialists would know about the
Hererom, to mention just one example and not to
mention ____, _____, ____, & etc.) if Pynchon hadn't
written about them.

It's his ability to single out the factoids - little
known, or the unique approach to something well known
- plus powerful prose and the rest of his art, that
makes Pynchon special for me.
