Pynchon's Juvenilia, and Against The Day

[Michel]

"Time-travel with me back to the fall of '52, and double back a couple 
of times, to eavesdrop on young Tom Pynchon during his senior year 
(1952-53) as he was writing "The Voice of the Hamster" columns for 
the Oyster Bay High School's newspaper, The Purple and Gold. In this 
talk I'll compare his early use of some tropes, or his Juvenilia style, 
to his later use of signature tropes, or his mature style, as we find it 
in Against The Day. We'll discover, in this temporal right angle to 
linear time, "The Child is father of the Man." Then as now, we'll see 
his major concern has always been justice."

Charles Hollander's speaker notes of the June 2007 G.R.A.A.T. conference 
in France.
