How many weeks is a typical Spring or Fall college semester? Fifteen?
Do college courses require prerequisites for Pynchon classes? Doing GR
study w/o strict prerequisites, like having read it at least a year prior,
is a malfeasance of practice, in my opinion.
Which brings us to V. A lovely novel and probably a good sized text for a
college semester. It is in spirit and structure GR’s premier. Easier, but
still quite complex, with loads of archetypal bones. I would even suggest
V for high schoolers, with parental approval, of course.
