Pynchon & mayonnaise? Why?

[malignd at aol.com]

I can't believe (I don't mean you're lying) that you or Pynchon like this guy.  I loathe his writing, his insufferable cuteness.  He's the literary equivalent of Jeff Koons, except that he didn't marry a porn star (to my knowledge ...).  I can still remember hurling "Cowgirls" -- the one with the Pynchon blurb -- across the room.  (I was young and passionate.)

Tom Robbins used to be such a kick -  read everything up to Frogs Pajamas and 
then it seemed that Robbins was trying just a wee bit too hard to be 
"irreverent."   

I read somewhere that Robbins got bored with the books he'd been reading,  so he 
wrote the book he wanted to read.   (heh)
