HARDLY PYNCHON AT ALL but "You're gonna want cause & effect"....

[Mark Kohut]

Object-oriented ontology offers a startlingly fresh way to think about
causality that takes into account developments in physics since 1900.
Causality, argues OOO, is aesthetic. In this book, Timothy Morton explores
what it means to say that a thing has come into being, that it is
persisting, and that it has ended. Drawing from examples in physics,
biology, ecology, art, literature and music, Morton demonstrates the
counterintuitive yet elegant explanatory power of OOO for thinking
causality.

Is Pynchon's Seven Types of Ambiguity associationism--my word using a kind
of cause and effect; my leap and maybe wrong--effectively (that concept
again) the literary equivalent of the Heisenberg indeterminacy principle,
say?
