NP: Great Dismal is William Gibson

[Tore Rye Andersen]

Heikki:
 
> Do you know if PR criticism contains comparisons of Cayce Pollard and Oedipa Maas?
 
It does, beginning with Lisa Zeidner's review in NYT (19 January 2003). Fredric Jameson
also compares PR to Lot 49 in his essay in the New Left Review ("Fear and Loathing in
Globalization"), as does Steen Christiansen in an essay called "Transtextuality,
Paranoia, and Apohenia." I'm sure there are more - there should be, at any rate, since
the similarities between PR and Lot 49, and between Oedipa and Cayce, are numerous.
There are also a couple of overt Pynchon references in PR.
