I wonder what the starchy Pynchonologists who weighed in on Amazon and Pynchonoid that it was obviously a work of lesser talent aping Pynchon now think.
Heh. Saw the update in Slate just before you posted that. I'll wager at least some will claim it's a sign that Pynchon's not in top form anymore.
I began
Watership Down
last night. I've never read it. So far, I like it. It reads a lot like
Ender's Game
to me. Same tone, I've kinda made Fiver Ender and Pipkin Bean.
So, yeah. I like it. I needed a nice light-hearted bunny story, and now I have one!
Hee. I already asked Joe about it and he told me a little bit. He tried to equate it to
Animal Farm
to which I responded, "I never read
Animal Farm
." He said, "Ok, you saw the TNT movie a couple of years ago." I thought about it and said, "I remember there were pigs."
He just sighed and went back inside.

Hmm, I'd say it's more like LORD OF THE RINGS, but with rabbits.
Frank, I thought that, too. I think Joe was thinking more about the social commentary.

It's kind of like
Lost,
but with rabbits.
I'm 150 pages into
Kavalier and Clay,
and I don't even
have
slash goggles, but I feel like Chabon is fucking with me on purpose. As for the story, it started out a little slow, but it's really taken off now that they've finally started work on the comic.
