Review of David Cowart, Thomas Pynchon & the Dark Passages of History

[Mark Kohut]

Alice, alice,
 
I would suggest your fine sense of pattern-finding may have overlooked a few ways this review is different.
Worth it to me for allusion to White's notion of meta-history and the quote from Cowart about TRP's
"modernist concerns and postmodern techniques"...............
 
I wish I had said it that way, any of the times I flailed at TRP being called 'postmodern."
 
And Cowart's focus on a moral vision---see W.A.S.T.E. Archives under "disagreeing with Mark at
the start of the Back to AtD self-styled read."  Smiles.  & we could both still be wrong in many plisters' eyes.
So it goes.
  & Cowart does NOT find a moral vision in the non-USA novels????

Not saying this reviewer did not read Cowart, but this one is a copy
of the last one posted here; I do know that these academic reviews are
made from formulas and that the reviewers are working in a kind of
paint by number world, but ....
