The Anti-Pynchon Author of Note?

[malignd at aol.com]

Gees, Henry, seem to have touched a nerve.  You're the one who trivialized Roth as a series of shortcomings.



What you wrote is a crock of shit.


"What a crock of shit?"  If you can read OBA, then why can't you read a simple 
email message without getting p's in a twist?  I'm a big fan of Roth; been 
reading him particularly since the start of his Zuckerman books.  His books are 
warm, and short, but deep, and they invariably make me chuckle with a tear in my 
eye.

There's room for more than OBA, except in GR's parody of a land where there is 
only one of each stereotype.  If you appreciate OBA at all, you should know that 
this is not an A or B world (except in politics)!  

What a crock of shit!?  Grow up, and grow a pair! Read before you write, MD! I 
thought better of you.

What a crock of shit.  Roth's last two and a half decades has been one long 
string of brilliance.
