Pynchon Lite

[Robin Landseadel]

Reading the eighty-someodd comments/critiques on "Inherent Vice" over  
at amazon, run across this bit of list making from Richard C. Ferris  
of Rochester, NY—

	Big Foot Bjornsen, Sancho Smilax, Glen Charlock, Shasta Fey
	Hepworth, Tarig Khalil, Aunt Reet, Scott Ouf, Coy Harlingen,
	Fritz Drybeam, Agents Flatweed and Borderline, Burke Stodger,
	 St. Flip of Lawndale, Flaco the Bad, Zigzag Twong, Farley
	Branch, Elmina Breeze, Boris Spivey, Puck Beaverton, Jason
	VelVeeta, Shiny MacMcNutley, Dr. Treeply, Japonica Fenway,
	Mr. J. Krishnamurti, Arther Tweedle, Leonard Loosemeat,
	Adrian Prussia, Knucklehead Jack, Petunia, Trillium Fortnight
	and Chlorinda. These misanthropes, and a dozen more
	weaved throughout this tale are enough to make Charles
	Dickens, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, W.C Fields and the
	Firesign Theatre green with envy.
