unexpected pynchon comparison

[John Bailey]

Wow. That was a genuine eyebrow raiser.
When I hoovered up RC's oeuvre a decade ago I felt a kind of
resentment because clearly he had an outsized influence on every MFA
writing grad of the last 20 years, and no one should be so responsible
for so much middling porridge.
Now I've come to understand just how much of an artisan he was,
though, and reading the stuff he thought wasn't good enough to publish
confirms it.
