And NOWHERE is Pynchon mentioned!

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

 > “Everything is contained in the American novel except ideas,” Philip 
Rahv wrote exasperatedly in 1940, just as the European novel achieved, 
in the hands of Musil and Mann, its intellectual apotheosis. <

"No ideas but in things." (W.C. Williams)

And that's exactly what the writer Rolf Dieter Brinkmann loved about 
American literature!

Btw, Brinkmann was among the first German readers of Pynchon's "V" which 
he found in a London bookstore during the mid 1960s.
