Is it good (and true) for you too? Definitely Pynchon.

[Mark Kohut]

We know Pynchon read Cortazar because we've learned he
translated anonymously that great story "Axolotl' in Blow-Up
and Other Stories. (Which makes this the first 'Pynchon' story I
ever read, so-to-speak, brand-new college student).

Now, in an essay on Latin American magical realism, taking off
from Marquez, the writer says that a major theme of Cortazar's
novel HOPSCOTCH is anti-linearlty, anti-bipolar logic.........

which of course is seen in the way the novel literally allows different
 chapters to be read in different order, in fact asks for that.

Will read to see if there are other thematic subversions of what we Pynchon
readers call
the law of the excluded middle.

And ask if any who have read it smartly have noticed that?
