from the latter:

"As my colleague and self-professed Pynchon-head DJ Pangburn recently pointed
out<http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/first-page-of-thomas-pynchon-novel-bleeding-edge#ixzz2YqEe3T1r>,
the reclusive author is not known for sparing his characters and everything
in their fictional worlds from the slow crumble of entropy. Like any closed
system, including this planet and the entire cosmos, the far-flung weirdos
and heros cutting across Pynchon's tomes are all suspect to a breaking
down--of mind, body, and beyond."

But that really hasnt been the case since GR. Pynchon is alot more enamored
of resistance and people keeping it together overall since his 17-year
sabbatical. Zoyd, Mason/Dixon, Reef/Yashmeen, Doc get by. no doubt Maxine
will as well
