I breezed through that dissertation Kai posted and was not impressed. I
certainly don't agree that the student corrected some gross error in Dwight
Eddins's brilliant work, _The Gnostic Pynchon_

David Cowart, one of the best readers of Pynchon in the Pyndustry makes
judicious use of Eddins and call the book, "an important study."

It's a difficult book, but brilliantly composed and one of the most
insightful and orifianl readings of Pynchon I've encountered.

Dwight Eddins, The Gnostic Pynchon (Bloomington: Indiana University Press,
1990).
