M & D Group Read "Make 'Em Laugh"...

[Mark Kohut]

Becky writes: This novel has some very serious themes, but told with a
LOT of humor - not just humor to lighten the atmosphere -there's
actually a comic tone.

So true..a friend of mine thinking of reading it for the first time,
dipped in...so hilarious, he said (and he knows some other Pynchons).

Laughs, laughs everywhere. Maybe another part of the Tale-Telling
meaning: Make 'Em Laugh, Make 'Em Laugh, Make 'Em Laugh.
This tone may not be seen in any other work until INHERENT VICE?? he
says controversially.
