Re: "To Celebrate the Best Parts of His Nature:" Fiction and the Discourse of Man – By Nick Ripatrazone - The Marginalia Review of Books

Interesting stuff on /The Crying of Lot 49/, --- a novella often 
underrated here on the list.

What this review ignores is the influence Henry Adams had on Pynchon's 
"literary catholicism."

My favorite sentence:

"Pynchon might be considered the synthesis of the Catholicism of 
Marshall McLuhan and Andy Warhol, whose communions of saints spanned the 
electric and artistic worlds."
