New GR book - Herman & Weisenburger

[Mark Kohut]

Thanks. Buying. Rereading. You can say that again. Rereading.
 
Besides four other Pynchon-related books, I liked that customers who bought also bought
 
NOT I: Memoirs of a German Childhood by Joachim Fest. 
 
Was that you, Monte? (joke)

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."
