Subject: Re: Does Pynchon Produce Only 'Masterworks'?

Statements like this always make me a little batty. No other author 
could have written GR because no other author is Pynchon. But GR is 
not "far beyond" War and Peace or Ulysses or In Search of Lost Time, or 
Moby Dick or Pale Fire or 100 Years of Solitude or .... fill in as you 
see fit.

We all love GR, but this sort of mindless idolatry is the bane of this 
list (and makes me thing you haven't read very much).

Imagine, if you will, being the sort of sad wee cunt who subscribes to a mailing list, quite an obscure one foax, for year after year after year, mind you, yet who only makes supremely negative comments, sniping at other people's posts. Can you imagine that?Then, imagine if it made you 'thing' bad 'things'!FWIW, I'll take GR over Pale Fucking Fire any day. If you disagree, maybe you'd be better pissing your bile over at the Nabokov List? I hear it's a blast.
