On Tommy Pynchon. Daily Beast Interview with Harold Bloom re his new book.

[Mark Kohut]

What American novelists in our time do you think will survive?

I would not include Saul Bellow, who I didn’t like as a person or as a
writer. It would be Philip Roth and Sabbath’s Theatre and American
Pastoral, Don Delillo for Underworld, Cormac McCarthy for Blood
Meridian, Tommy Pynchon for three books anyway, the early and
magnificent The Crying of Lot 49, and then certain moments scattered
through Gravity’s Rainbow, and then Mason & Dixon,which is quite a
formidable book.
