The Pynchon Playlist

[Mark Kohut]

Re: AtD...No, not even close....it is his second modern world system novel,
imho. The Gravity's Rainbow of World Systems Novels, whatever they are, so
to speak.

Thanks for it all, including the kazoo lesson.

Most interesting to see his mind at work with kinds and amounts of what
kinds of music for each novel. Love that TV music Vineland fact. Like the
highest artists,
everything was judged at every step; proportionality and kind and range
mattered throughout.

But this is a lame redundancy for those like you who would not do this
unless he were.
