Alan Brownlie book or volume, Subjectivity and Problems of Knowing, is Excellent! I agreed with the two other gentlemen, this book is a MUST if you are a serious student of Thomas Pynchon. This book is a worthy addition to any library.
WOW, meaning a knockout; hit; great achievement and masterstroke.

This book is a masterstroke!

A WOW book! Come on U guys! Grant it, Alan did a good job... but a WOW book? No way! If this book makes you say WOW... (Sigh) Guys, then you need to get a life! Put the book down and go out and smell the roses. Life is waiting for you.
A book like this shouldn't make you say, wow with capital letters, "life" should.

I agree with Helena..."not a WOW book."

I have to agree with Mr. Weinberg's review of this volume.
As a serious student of both Pynchon and the philosophy of science, I feel Mr Brownlie's book is a breath of fresh air. Rarely have I encountered a writer with such breadth of knowledge combined with the courage to take on established views.

This is not a "WOW" book. It is one man (Alan W. Brownlie) opinion of Thomas Pynchon books. But then again that is my opinion.

WOW! Never before has so much intellectual horsepower been applied towards the study of the works of Thomas Pynchon. Without doubt this volume should be a given in the library of anyone who wishes to learn anything about the subject, and is a must for those purporting to know everything. Alan Brownlie provides thoughtful and comprehensive insight into issues not typically addressed, even as he shines new light onto topics usually glossed over by others. Don't ask why - just buy this book for your library. There's NOTHING else like it on the market!
