	This is probably going to make me sound, yet again, like a
	Neanderthal shouting from the back of the classroom, and might
	even destroy my career and end a few friendships and scandalize
	my children and cast shame upon my ancestors—but I have
	something to confess. After years of deceiving myself and others
	(felonious head nods in grad seminars, forced cocktail-party
	chuckles), I have decided it’s time to stop living a literary-critical
	lie. There is no easy way to say this, so here it is. I hate Thomas
	Pynchon.
