ATDTDA (20): The first stirrings of hope, 569-573

[Paul Nightingale]

Storytelling is central to Pynchon's work post-GR, it seems to me, VL a kind
of prologue to M&D. AtD is full of narrators: the Chums' author on the first
page, Prof Vanderjuice on 'the Old West', the Grand Cohen on European
history ... any number of other situations in which a story is being told,
the narrator is exposed as a narrator. Atd follows on from VL and M&D, but
appears more complex.

>From contemporary novelists: Paul Auster, of course.

re Luca's storytelling.....I am reminded of M & D, the storytelling of it to
the young ones....
