Well that is a valid criticism, one Pynchon would accept. ""Modern readers
will be, at least, put off by an unacceptable level of racist, sexist and
proto-Fascist talk throughout this story ["Low-Lands"]. I wish I could say
that this is only Pig Bodine's voice, but, sad to say, it was also my own at
the time. The best I can say for it now is that, for its time, it is
probably authentic enough."
