It was very funny. The opening sequence almost made me pee my pants, and Ned-Flanders-in-Marge's-imagination what with his flowing locks seemed oddly reminiscent of another Ned entirely.

i really don't know how to feel about the writing there. it feels ostentatious and derivative.
so i googled the writer and realized he's associated with he of the pink shirt (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/14/opinion/sunday/the-trauma-of-the-pink-shirt.htmll) and maybe that justifies my feeling?

why would you write about pynchon that way? it just reminds me that you're not as good a writer as pynchon, i mean...

i never read it but is he not the celebrated author of 'c'?

yes.
it doesn't seem too bad to me - one thing that his recent review of Ulysses in the LRB showed is that he's using his critical writing either as an expression of obsessions or a manifesto, that's to say an obsession with data and information, esp the form of writing or materials of communication, being a vehicle of transmutation, of translation in its widest sense - things suffering sea changes. (here "contrafluvial parsing" and "invasive transformation")
that feels a bit forced here - GR is copious and its images and the grotesquerie of its visions that sits in the way of "theory fiction". but I think he makes a good fist of it - it's clearly a piece by a fan reveling in the novel's plenty, which helps.

Why wouldn't you write about Pynchon in that way if you could?
Not my way my whole way through but it makes me want to pick it up again.
I was trying to think of examples of "theory fiction". I suppose that is how he sees his own work, at the least.
