And NOWHERE is Pynchon mentioned!

[Paul Mackin]

What's so great about a novel of ideas? Who wants to have a bunch of ideas
and ideals thrown at them, in a novel anyway? Do ideas make the world go
round? Well, maybe, but I can form my own ideas, at least for the purpose
of novel reading. Pynchon is a novelist of historical events, invention and
language.

Or maybe not.
