Pynchon had no feel for this, didn't know how to portray female
friendship and solidarity.

can anyone name a male author who has w/o the lesbian overtones? (plz
don't mention Tom Robbins)

characters--I know a few who love gay porn ;)
Pat Barker did a fair enough job in the WWI books which I would also
classify as feminist
