Cowart, Krafft, McHale, and Library Journal praise it. The first reader
review, by some bozo named Davis, adds:

"I've been reading Pynchon since 1967 and following the critical literature
sporadically since the mid-1970s. There's no other single volume that ties
the title's central themes to other themes in GR so clearly...

That details so well how specific events and movements of the 1960s (e.g.
the Free Speech Movement and censorship trials) as well as those of 1945
found their way into the text...

Or that is, like Pynchon himself, so sympathetic to the rebels of the
"Counterforce" AND so clear-eyed about their fading prospects.

>From now on, this book should be the starting point for GR readers who want
to dig deeper."
