What do you think, Thomas Pynchon?
The LA Times has a suitably baffling review of Against the Day. Is it a positive or negative review?
In the NYT, Michiko is not vague in her dislike:
“Against the Day,” reads like the sort of imitation of a Thomas Pynchon novel that a dogged but ungainly fan of this author’s might have written on quaaludes. It is a humongous, bloated jigsaw puzzle of a story, pretentious without being provocative, elliptical without being illuminating, complicated without being rewardingly complex.
