"His contribution to the novel or romance is far more important. Pynchon
politics are only of interest because of how he says what he says . . ."

Amen to that. And his art often says what it says so masterfully,
reducing it to the content or the political point behind the artistic
presentation defeats the artistic purpose of his having put the
effort into saying it artistically. He uses politics, religion, etc etc
as pigments. Pointing out the colors he's using is a waste of time.
Yeah, that's blue, that's red, that's green. Whatever. Look at the
brilliance used to create beauty and transcendence with those colors.
