BE Spoiler (if that's possible now)

I admit to not yet having finished BE, but I'm getting closer by bits every
day.  So when today I got to Chapter 30...

SPOILER ALERT!


... I was kind of shocked by the sharp change of tone.  The first three
paragraphs read like Pynchon directly himself without character mediation
observing the post 9-11 history dynamic as a New Yorker, and the larger
realm.  Honest and straightforward without sarcasm or judgement, except for
the reference to the Newspaper of Record.  These three paragraph are unique
in Pynchon's fiction, as far as I can see.
