Again, a very interesting discussion. My "contributions" have been
mostly in the nature of tentative thoughts, looking to advance the
conversation rather than out of a clear sense of insight.
I have some questions
1) Is Pynchon's response to Hollander mostly on the basis of the
Pynchon's Inferno essay? What had H published at that point? ( I
have to admit I find his core interpretation of GR to be close to my
own sense of emphasis at least in terms of history/politics/social
implications, and the fundamental dishonesty and betrayal of the
human implicit in war, even this most idealized of wars. I am not at
all sure that P is siding with coal over oil as Hollander implies or
that some historic disinheritance of the Pynchons is as critical as
he implies. I think he gets carried away with the Rockefeller name
stuff, too )
2) How can one get a copy of Hollander's " Pynchon, JFK and the CIA:
Magic Eye Views of The Crying of Lot 49." ? the vheissu website is
gone. V? he is you . V-Feminine+ he- masculine = issue
