Pynchon and James' 'The Portrait of a Lady'

[Bekah]

"Hemingway famously said all modern American fiction came from 'Huckleberry Finn,' which may be true of relatively undemanding fiction such as his; but the more demanding work of Faulkner, Gaddis, Pynchon, David Foster Wallace and others (Gorra implies) comes from 'The Portrait of a Lady.' "
