Hi, here is  Howard Schneider's shitty prophecy. Please share
with us your reading spectrum and make a testimony against
or for this iconoclastic judgment on the Pynchonites. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a hunch that Pynchon's zealous fans don't read
many novels, so they're not bothered by his flaws. They
cherish their idol because he presents the world as they
know it: science, technology, history, politics, high and low
culture all mashed together to make a garish gallimaufry.
The results might be messy but so is the society the
Pynchonites inhabit.
