Tiffany,
My criticism was not directed at Pynchon but at the London Times
reporter who alluded to " women who spend their whole day draped
languidly over a chair at the Museum of Modern Art's cafe with a book perched on
their knees" in the article entitled, "Trendy New Yorkers Lap Up Cult Writer's
Indigestible Novel"

But Pynchon is such a feminist. Oedipa in The Crying of Lot 49 is a
great female hero. And he prophecies very well what was going to
happen in the literary world imo.
