Just checking in here. I'm like 80-85 pgs deep in
M&D since beginning the book yesterday, which, in the grand scheme of things, is hardly clearing 10% of it, and not muuuuch has happened yet, so I'm going to hold off on an analytical post. I'll show up again on Friday once I've got a week of reading under my belt for the first longish post, which should be just about all of
Latitudes and Departures. If it isn't, I'll probably stick up an interim post over the weekend to finish the section up.
Until then, I'm keeping my eye on instances of Lines, Ghosts, Hauntings, Shadows, Night, History....all the classic Pynchon obsessions. Any one of those to prioritize? As with Vineland, I haven't read this before, so I'm not as aware of which little threads will become most significant by the end as I could be. Has there been academic criticism on this book?
