Re: Speaking of Pynchon… (SLPAD)

[Dee Kilroy]

Since I view his library as a Chronicle, sorted in order of the era the
volume represents, I figure he's got maybe an Agapē Agape-length volume
left of sentiments to spare for, I dunno, a decade of daunted hopes defined
by and led by its naughts instead of its Aughts.  I don't imagine he'll
write about Covid.  But he'll probably cuss everything that happened up
until we started mobilizing the refrigerated trucks.
