Excellent.  Thank you!

"Like Bruegel's painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus," this is 
a portrait of mankind's attempt to transcend our mortality - or at 
least push up against its very edge." 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape_With_The_Fall_of_Icarus>

and

"Remarkably, and with a whiff of optimism that is new for Pynchon, 
"Against the Day" proceeds as if the verdict is still out on which 
way our ability to light up the skies and obscure the heavens might 
go."


Does this sound like a trend,  what with "The Road" and McCarthy's 
new-found,  hesitant optimism?
