"It is a badly written book, poorly organized; any layman who,
beguiled by the author's previous reputation, bought the book was
cheated of his five shillings. . . . It is arrogant, bad tempered,
polemical and not overly generous in its acknowledgments. It abounds
in mares' nests and confusions. . . . In short, it is a work of
genius."

--Paul Samuelson

Of course, Samuelson was speaking not of Pynchon's GR, but of Keynes's
GT. But it might be applied. Some will quibble with the "badly
written" phrase, though I think Pynchon wouldn't.
