Good Wills Hunting for Everyday People

[Campbel Morgan]

This is why pop culture occupies such a place in Vineland (and... the
new one). It's part of the fabric of daily experience. It's our
reality.

Yes, but it's a target of harsh satire in VL. Is P a hypocrite or wha?
The high culture equals low culture critical response to P's work was
destroyed by this novel.
Americans, the satire claimed, are watching too much TV and not paying
attention to robber barrons and crooked cops.
Or is Pynchon's narrator some sort of cocky ass Southey lad, Good Will
Hunting, telling college professors that they are wasting their time
and money reading all the wrong books?
That's the critique; the Robin Williams shrink, smart and tough, also
a wise-ass Southey, doesn't need to read Howard Zinn or Noam Chomskey,
he is American People.

Don't know about people in the future reading P and watching 50s
movies to twease out the allusions to esoteric feminsit theory, but I
hope they listen to SLy and the Family Stone's Everyday People.
