>I disagree respectfully and side with Bailey's explorations

I don't disagree with Bailey's explorations. Hell, at least he's
talking Pynchon, something he knows a good deal about. Moreover, I
know a good deal about what has been written about Pynchon and Anarchy
so I'm not suggesting that it's a culdesac or an exhausted topic by
any means. As far back as 1970 critics were digging into Pynchon's
anarchy. In one of the best essays, "Repression's Rainbow:The Presence
of Norman O. Brown in Pynchon's Big Novel," Lawrence C. Wolfley
writes:
 The nihilism of GR is only apparent; it is actually anarchy that
Pynchon affirms, and the medium is the message.
