on the detectives of Internet Vice and Bleeding Edge

[Mark Kohut]

from a long essay spending SOO much time on these novels---all
of Pynchon's novels---and their genre connection.

But this is good, i think:
"an ethos of ironic empathy which extends even to the villains of
the novels."

And some good stuff on the detectives subverting the usual masculinities
of the detective.....(whatever all those 'masculinities' are)
