Today's ABC / Radio National: "A low-tech Gravity's Rainbow?"

[bekah]

An excellent but rather general rave at "The Bookshow" from  ABC 
Australia Broadcasting Company.   It's an interview with   Geordie 
Williamson re AtD.

It's at <http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bookshow/stories/2007/1848287.htm> 
and  about 30 minutes in.   (A critique of Philip Roth precedes it.)

Geordie Williamson reviews American author Thomas Pynchon's latest 
complex and epic work, Against the Day, which plays with themes 
familiar to Pynchon's oeuvre, including order versus chaos, fate 
versus freedom, paranoia versus nihilism.

Guests:  Geordie Williamson
Former dealer in rare books. As a contributor to publications like 
The Spectator, the Literary Review, Evening Standard and Prospect 
Magazine, Geordie has a particular focus on the modern American 
novel. This focus inevitably ends up being a passion for weighty, 
literary monsters.
