Pynchon Virgins

I think Lot 49 is the starter drug for most; it's like the sorting demon, one either loves it or hates it. If one hates it, one won't like the rest of the oeuvre much either.

GR is still the zenith for me though; V. is liftoff, M&D marks brennschluss and then it's downhill from there, artillery of an entirely different caliber and calibration.

Ah.  For the rest, I completely agree with you.  And I think GR is much better than V.

You missed my correction (earlier today) saying I meant zenith, not nadir.

"Them" refers to Lot 49 and Vineland?
