Thomas Pynchon Returns to New York, Where He's Always Been

[Markekohut]

And the other related thing Trotter does is speculate negatively even about " real life". Didn't you have to laugh when he links Fitzgerald and Salinger's ( and Pynchon's) NYC as "suspicious".....
Very suspicious, that, very NY.

My objection is that Trotter doesn’t qualify or caution (or, seemingly, think) for even an instant before the jump from “things said about NYC in the books of TRP, an author remarkable for taking on scores of voices and stances within a few pages,” to “OK, now we’ve established that TRP the man hates NYC, let’s ask…”

I guess, one might say, he was in college, writing back to college friends while visiting the city, and might have been posturing to entertain or he may have changed his mind. Who knows? He seems to recall happy memories in for Hadju.
