While I'm never sure that my opinions are representative of 'what
is,' I am certainly in agreement with you on this point.
Actually, what I like about Pynchon is that he doesn't seem to claim
any final answers regarding 'what is.' So, I didn't think you were
trivializing Pynchon's art until your last sentence.

trivializing Pynchon's art. I'm recognizing it for what it is.
