The flattened American landscape of minor writers

[Carvill John]

Robin:
 
<< Michael Moorcock became editor of the periodical "New Worlds" back in  
1964, demonstrating that Moorcock WAS onto Pynchon way back. >>

 
Yes, yes. I know. But wasn't 'Entropy' first published in the Kenyon Review, in 1960? So Moorcock re-ran it in New Worlds some time later. Now I'm not saying that Moorcock is claiming 'Entropy' made its debut under his editorship, but it would be quite possible for a reader to make that assumption.
 
Moorcock says he and his cohorts 'shared' Pynchon's appreciation of entropy as metaphor, again this is ambiguous - did they share it before they'd read the story, in which case they were on to it before Pynchon (had published it)?
 
Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing with Moorcock or what he has to say, I just don't like the tone of his article much, and it seems to me somehow diffuse and tangential.
