Good Wills Hunting for Everyday People

[David Morris]

What you say here is true, but this coin has another side, which is why some
react against the notion of Pynchon-lite.  Bad puns and over-the-top
goofiness and elaborately connected plot twists CAN (but not
necessarily) get tiring unless they are in service to something a little
deeper.  Then again, funny can be just funny.
