Pynchon, Prescience, and Stockhausen

[grladams at teleport.com]

y'all are on the same page, but one happens to state a rule, and the other
states the praxis of great literature. 

so what's the point? 

i think that it is that we want to hear oba and it's difficult when rules
tell us not to hear his voice. 

so instead for me, I note how this great literature transcends for me to a
place i'd call a lens. how many times have i read a piece of history or
article from a magazine, and then reflect on it within his writings? Causes
me to read biographies and histories of transportation and commerce I
wouldn't have noticed before. Brings me into a curiosity one can compare
with Oedipa's in COL49, 

I find that his literature causes me to search for connections, reach for a
primal force within everyone, see importance in seemingly trivial events, 

if this is his "call" 

then we are listening.. to.. his.. voice.

Sorry......when one's art is read right, one can hear the artist speaking,
no matter what deconstruction deconstructs or adds.....

If you create art, and also communicate in some other manner, e.g.
interviews, you're liable to be criticized for those extraneous
communications.  When your art speaks for you, (deconstruction dictates
that) it isn't you speaking.

Speaking of prescience, why hasn't Hans Christian Anderson's "The
Nightingale" become a touchstone in the electronic media age?
