OK, so I guess I assumed that folks got their hands on the OK Law
Review, Vol. 24, Num.3, Fall 1999, as it was all about the works of P,
and in it are, the Benton essay I mentioned, and an essay by
Collado-Rodriguez, "Trspassing Limits: P's irony and the Law of the
Excluded Middle.

So, these have been referenced here, lotz of times, and are well worth
the time it takes to read and digest them, at least for me, as both
provide an excellent introduction to the ideas, the excluded middle
and anarchy, and both suppor a thesis with evidence from P texts that
I am quite familiar with. Both, as you can see from the date, were
composed long before the publication of P texts that provide better
evidence for the essays. I think the Review invaluable, lots in it on
the ideas we have discussed of late. The entire Review was online, but
I am not sure if you can find it all anymore.

Anyways, it is not a collection of Lit-crit, but a focused collection
o the Law in the works of Pynchon, so a fine read even if you are not
too in to P or the Law.

Go Chicago (CTU) !!
