VL - another delay for the epizootic read (-; / is portraying an aberrant individual the same as sexism?

[Raphael Saltwood]

  *   Anything I said last April about continuing a certain VL read is on hold another year
  *   German language goals were not met (yet)
  *   Breaths were not being held (as if!)
  *
  *   Hope to learn from MJ this year
  *   It’s on topic due to P rec, right?
  *   Reed also subject to charges of sexism
  *   His responses are many and varied
  *   But if it’s present in MJ I’ll read around it rather than confront it
  *   Like the part where - oh never mind
  *   Maybe get to that later

VL was a sexist-political-comedic pamphlet.  I’ve read it three times, and
disliked it more each time.  I especially hated its ending.  I hate it when
Pynchon shows his sexism.

David, respectful kudos - 3 times! Talk about giving it a chance.

  *    de gustibus etc

  *   VL has several statements about Frenesi being controlled by her sexuality

  *   But heck, GR is all about Slothrop being controlled by his - ijs
