I've said this before and no doubt will inevitably say
it again, but here I think the problem is mostly taht
he leads with his most tenuous example, is all.  In
general he may overstate his case, but, taken
alongside other readings, as any reading should be,
reagrdless of any reader's insistance otherwise, he
more often than not points out valid and compelling
additions to those Pynchonian multivalences ...
