I wonder, why not? AtD has been out less than a year; I'm sure comment
on GR circa 1974 was just as baffling to many. it's gonna take time. I
am somewhat perplexed why there were many overarching studies of the
early trilogy of novels--V, 49, GR. and not much since--studies
viewing Pynchon's work as a whole--Vineland, M&D, and AtD seem to lend
themselves to such a study and then a study for all 6--that's what I'm
hoping for over the next few years at least.
