Kathryn Hume's other Pynchon stuff

[alice wellintown]

So, I've got to thinking that, with only a scrap from Hume's book
we've probably not understood anything about it. ANd, so turning back
to some of the other things Hume has published, and the list is long,
and specifically to a wonderful book on GR, _Pynchon's Mythography_, I
feel stupid and foolish for tossing a bomb at Hume's unfortunate
phrase about anarchy. While there are several brilliant studies of the
mythological in P, Gume's book, and Eddin's The Gnostic Pynchon, are
the best. And I suspect, though readers here have mostly ignored or
even rejected the P-Industry, that it is what Hume and Eddins discuss
in their readings that causes readers to enjoy and love GR more than
AGTD. The two California novels are not even of the same type, so
comparison is silly, but AGTD is a major work like GR, M&D, and the
first of these, V.. So, I suspect that it is not the pose style,
surely superior in the elder P of AGTD, that turns GR-Fanboys off. It
is other things, like characters and themes and settings and, dare I
say, plots. But it is not the style, not the words and sentences and
imagery and the craft. No way! AGTD is superior hand at work. No
serious reader or writer can deny that.
