On the Thomas Pynchon Trail: From the Long Island of His Boyhood to the "Yupper West Side" of His New Novel

[Markekohut]

The writer is a reductionist.....that world-historical V. had small-town Republican shenanigans feeding it.....that, although working on more than one book at a time is acknowledged, TRP lost productivity when Vineland took 17 years to come out...

He wants to find hypocrisy: ESCHEW SLOTH and lost productivity....
Against the Day reduced to anti- capitalism by a guy who lives its comforts....

He's so powerful although he acts like he wants to be powerless

And more.

Mean-spirited at its heart.
