Against the Day is the height of the Pynchon era.

They were America's Ancien Régime, Railroads and Power & Light
during the Peak of Art Nouveau, They were 'Them' and now they're nothing.
The Pynchons belong in the history books like the Bushes are in 
history books, but it's real hard to find any. . . . Interesting, eh?

If you look up Pynchon in some of these search engines, 
sometimes 'Pynchon vs. Stearns'---the 'Waste' law---is 
what comes up most often.

That points to real estate. Something the Pynchons had a great
interest in. In truth, particularly considering the time zone of the
book---1893-192?--- AtD must be of great importance to the Pynchon 
Dynasty. Revisionist history is required simply in order to have 
available a history of the Pynchon Clan, just for correspondences
to genealogy. But in a way, it feels like the Pynchon story was erased.
