Pynchon and the crisis of man

[Matthew Taylor]

I haven't read this book, but I recently picked up "Against Everything," a
collection of Greif's essays. They are cultural criticism in the broadest
and most expansive sense. Most of what I've been reading lately has been
explicitly political, so it's nice to have this change of pace...and damn,
Greif is just brilliant.

I *strongly *recommend "Against Everything"..."Octomom And the Market In
Babies" is perhaps my favorite essay of the collection thus far.
