In Which Pynchon Makes an Appearance

[Mark Kohut]

by Mrs. James Wood, good writer of fiction (her hubby says so too), who, however
reveals she hasn't read TRP as closely as her husband hasn't either.....
 
Yet, her point is so true and necessary to be said, IMHO....(I have watched the growth of
the belief that readers must LIKE a book's characters, as if fiction were about all of
our "nice" acquaintances, since so much of it is.....)
