Petillon

[Michel Ryckx]

One could say he belongs to the po-mo school. For me, he is in the first 
place a VERY French scholar, writing in a rather associative way, very 
charming. Check out PN for one of his articles:
/Petillon, Pierre-Yves///, "*Thomas Pynchon and Aleatory Space *", in: 
/Pynchon Notes/, Fall, # 15, 1984

Comment in French (tr.: the most beautiful texts written on P, american 
onces included)
Pierre-Yves Pétillon, */Histoire de la littérature nord-américaine/* 
(Fayard, 2003)
Merveilleux Pétillon ! Tous les textes qu’il a consacrés à Pynchon sont 
les plus beaux écrits sur le romancier, études américaines comprises.

Critique (FR) is rather very respected.
Michel
