Munro vs Pynchon on Kavalevsky

[Mark Kohut]

She has found novels after perceived bad books by such as Updike and Roth to be very good...

Something admirable about her among a few things: she will read earlier works by a writer she might be reviewing for the first time. 

I oten enough disagree with her. I respect her though, a lot. I may be in a minority.
