Thesis: that Pynchon is not a " political" writer at all.

[ish mailian]

A lot in there, but not much I can connect with P. Maybe the end, when
Heaney is brought in, though I can't quit figure out how Seamus Heaney's
statements, or poetry, biography, history, politics have all that much to
do with either Auden or Orwell.  Long essay. I might re-read it. Poor
Auden, if he really did think of necessary murder or that his audience
might think murder necessary and find affirmation in his poetry. Yeats, to
me, is a finer poet, even with his ugly politics and last romantic elitism
...
