Yikes - just before I go, one more banality from me (plus an elipsis)...
Historical Note to Dugdale: Charles Manson was quite a hot topic around teh time IV is set.
This is a cheap shot, maybe, but also an irrefutable truth: these writers such as John Dugdale, whatever they have to say about Pynchon, they are deluding themselves if they don't realise that they are not fit to carry his shoes, so.....
"Excess is the recurring failure here. There’s also too much druggyhumour, too many nubile women throwing themselves at men, too manymentions of the cult-leader killer Charles Manson, and too manysentences ending in ellipses."
Could be said about GR, too. Except for Manson, but . . . but . . . János
