>From John A. McClure, Partial Faiths: Postsecular Fiction in the Age
of Pynchon and Morrison (Athens: U of Georgia P, 1997), Ch. 1,
"Ontological Pluralisms and Preterite Spiritualities:: Thomas
Pynchon," pp. 26-61:

"What is left largely unexplained [by McHale] ... is the possibility

challenging secular constructions of reality and entertaining the idea
of a profoundly pluralistic universe." (p. 28)
