The fall of the house of Pynchon
Slogging through the science and history, sex and paranoia that crowd Thomas Pynchon's cartoonish new novel, it's obvious his disciples now write better Big Idea novels than he does.
By Laura Miller [2006-11-21]

  • Pynchon and the Critics

    I picked up the book yesterday and by page five it was obvious that Pynchon's critics have once again missed the boat.

    In either case, I for one savor Pynchon for words, words, words. If I find myself jonesing for a simple, linear plot I can always find an old Zane Grey.
