2.0 out of 5 stars Deconstruct me one more time (yawn), November 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: WRITING PYNCHON (Hardcover)
A depressingly predictable exercise in applying sub-sub-sub-Derridean critical methods to the novels of Thomas Pynchon. Pynchon, like the rocket that describes the arc of his most famous novel, deconstructs himself so explosively that it's hardly necessary for others to do it for him. The best writing about Pynchon has generally been starkly elucidatory in nature - these boys take Pynchon's already dizzyingly intricate web and dissolve it to a stupefying fog. No wonder it's out of print. Kind of fun, anyway, for the sheer shooting-oneself-in-the-foot futility of it all.
