. . . What Pynchon is after with the prodigal absurdities of Doc’s
adventures is not really parody, but something larger. They are
a way to enter into a time and place of extravagant delusions,
innocent freedoms, and an intoxicated (literally) sense of
possibility. And to do it without sententiousness, to write in
psychedelic colors disciplined by a steel-on-flint intelligence
(thus the incandescent sparks). . .
