Pondering an M&D road trip...

[Guy Ian Scott Pursey]

I think that might be one of the many things that turned me on to
Pynchon when I started - the humour seemed to be somehow... British? I
don't that I can explain what a British sense of humour is or how it
contrasts with American humour - perhaps it's more surreal and wildly
sarcastic whereas American humour seems to be by contrast both more
deadpan and more sincere...?

Err... Anyway! Veering massively off-topic a-and now approaching
controversial territory. What was it the Captain Zhang said about
drawing lines and Bad History?

Guy, your post kicked me in the keister! I'm now thinking about
Anglophilia
in Pynch-Lit (Maybe I'll go back to school some day and actually write a
paper!  Nah.  Doubt it.).

Slothrop et al in LONDON!  The Candy Drill!  A-and Anglophile Japanese
fellow from Hiroshima on the boat in GR!  TWITS!  Mason and Dixon!  The
list
goes on!  Why, P's books are almost as much of Brit as Yank!
