Pynchon mirroring himself psychoanalytically? (so to speak, not meant literally)

[Mark Kohut]

In an essay on Shakespeare criticism in The Riverside Shakespeare, this is said
in an interesting mirroring of some of early Pynchon.

Essayist writes of 'object relations' psychoanalytic theory as a way of 
reading. 
That is defined as the study of persons and their things!....and also 
characterized as about a male's difficulty with comitment (because of unresolved 
Mother problems)

And it is also considered pre-oedipal in development by many therapists!   
(First came the thingishness and commitment problem of V...then came Oedipa by 
our author)!


Also, this good longish essay finds key changes in reinterpreting Shakespeare to 
have happened
around 1970----by the Historical, Marxist/societal school---and with the 
emergence of Lacanian
readings----that the unconscious, even in Shakespeare, is a language......
