The Age of the Crisis of Man: Thought and Fiction in America, 1933-1973

[Dave Monroe]

"Pynchon was able to take on a particular line of concern with the
Holocaust--concerning the uses and abuses of human bodies as a
template for the depredations of war--in a way that has been hard to
acknowledge.  Part of the reason that is has been hard to acknowledge
is that it differs from other usual foci of Holocaust interest by
offering no particular attention or solemnity to the fate of the
murdered Jews as Jews rather than as simple human bodies." (p. 231)
