The British Thomas Pynchon

I read the Tintin book and it was fun stuff. Took it just seriously enough, but not too seriously. 

Meanwhile, the new book is directly compared to Gaddis' The Recognitions...

I'll have to look that Tintin book up.  I've been a Tintin fan since I was a kid. Not earth-shattering or intellectual, but a lot of fun.  I went to the movie with very low expectations, and found it entertaining.  I'm also an obsessive fan of the TV series Lost (except for the horrible last season), and there are lots of parallels between that show and the Tintin book, Flight 714.

thanks!  You've already read "C", right?  I've only begun to think about maybe reading that and he's got a new one out!


Looking at his author page on Amazon, he also has a book about Tintin - a reviewer says he bastes it lightly with Derrida, but not so much as to ruin the flavor.  I keep meaning to see the movie...
