Today's misc. Pynchon semi-connections

[Mark Kohut]

In a long detailed obit about Henning Mankell in the Irish Times, I learn
how important the 60s were to his inspiration

I remember, waiting for this year's Nobelist, how even Alice Munro spoke
of how the sixties opened her intellectually. (She has at least one so-good
story that I know, directly alluding/using it to show 'liberation".

>From a review today of Tessa Hadley's The Past
"the middle section goes back to 1968, and follows their mother’s
brief affair with a local man after splitting from her husband."

And then we think of TRP.

It ain't anything new but there is so much more lit and cultural crit
to be written
on what the sixties, esp 67-68 has meant; how it changed the world
(see them French
thinkers).
