I believe you re mostly correct in these statements. Pynchon can
still write beautiful and elaborate prose (but I think he's less
likely to make page-length sentences as in GR). But I got the
distinct feeling in AtD that it was in the service of not much. It
almost felt at times that he was imitating himself or following a
formula.
