Pynchon bio / critical study?

[rich]

will be there be as much thematic continuity in critiques of the post
GR works as there were for the the first three novels? In other words,
many studies of earlier Pynchon (no doubt helped by that 17 yr
absence, time for reflection and digestion) seemed to attempt to tie
them together. Don't see that happening with the later books

Pynchon like Slothrop has well scattered himself across the zone of
his late fiction (not a complaint).
