Richard Eder's glowing review:

	. . . 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). . .
