Odds of another Pynchon novel

[rich]

Seems to me that Pynchon is much more explicit in the post-GR collection in
portioning out blame, without the clutter of a mystical detective puzzle
scaffold: Reagan, the FBI, Republicans, penises, the LAPD and police of all
stripes, Microsoft, plutocrats of all stripes, and all intimate
complications within the Beltway. i.e. the lines of good and bad are more
sharply drawn (M&D retained much of that mystical which is why I don't
include in this collection. We really dont know who They/M is though we
know the East India Co has a few members). That's what I mean by a more
direct style. the GR template is only my conceit for  the scaffolding. I
also say all this acknowledging how these two threads are ever connected,
despite the ostensible break and that there isnt anything wrong or
necesarily lesser in the later works (Pynchon hasnt lost that voice): I
would only argue such directness, aesthetically, dilutes while it instructs
(sorta like comparing early REM to late REM)
