V2nd, C3

[Mark Kohut]

yeahp......we have to keep in our minds the fact that
pynchon believes in laughing..often aloud..

I have just read another section of Adams in which, reporting
some sad events, he says ironically, sarcastically, using a French
phrase seemingly current...........

"So you find life amusing?"............

P does. P believes it should be, it seems.

while I go along with a lot of this, I personally find Pynchon a lot
more fun than Adams.
Adams is more like Eeyore.
Pynchon is like, well, somebody familiar enough with Eeyore's
arguments and who likes him enough
to jolly him out of it.
