Times critic a bit harsh on the new Pynchon. Underestimates ATD, I think. It has its longeurs, but equals GR -- quaternions against the old vectors. Introduces a new dimension, let's call it time, that makes the other coordinates bear relation. The episodic cartoon gains depth. Introduces the narrative to the fullness of life and mortality. ("Fullness of life, this is mortality. Mortality...") P is a genre of one -- geneous, from the seeds of 49 and V. Still haven't read SL.
