That Locke Review of GR

[ish mailian]

In his Dark Passages of History David Cowart suggests that P had a
German period (V., Lot49, GR) then shifted East (Japan) to satirize
American popular culture and the global capital that it wraps itself
about.   The read of the German period is a good summary of what othes
have written about in depth. I've been re-reading Marshall Berman's
All That Is Solid Melts into Air, not a book Pynchon had in his German
period but may have gotten to since. The "Jewish themes"  of Pynchon,
one might say, are a constant. Berman weaves these themes into his
readings of Faust and Marx and the American Street. Great stuff. .
