I liked it more than his previous two offerings, for certain. Coming
Soon! and Ten Night And A Night (which I am currently rereading, and
remembering why I didn't like it so much) seemed to me very lazy
writing. Here JB is attempting to write real STORIES again, which is
nice, instead of writing about (ho hum) how hard it is to be a senior
aged, liberally-minded writer/professor with writer's block, sailing
in the marshlands with his fabulously sexy and intellectual wife while
the world seems to be going to heck in a handbasket.

No need to apologize. You asked for help with the cite, and I was trying to make sure it was right. Plus it gave me an excuse to re-consider Giles, Goat-Boy for a few minutes. Time better spent than most of mine these days, I'm afraid. In any case, just trying to lend a hand.

So, lacking Barth news, anybody laid hands on the new Pynchon yet?

Hey everyone,

good to see a few new messages!

> So, lacking Barth news, anybody laid hands on the new Pynchon yet?

I have literally laid hands on Against the Day, and put it on the shelf, but still haven't read it. But I suppose you mean the new new Pynchon, the title of which I can never remember (something with 'vice' in it?) and which is supposed to be a lean one, Lot 49 / Vineland style. Didn't realize it was out yet. It's so annoying when writers put out new ones before you've read the previous ones! :) And when it's someone not that prolific who does it, it gets even more annoying and makes one wonder where the time goes. I'm mostly stuck with the Canucks and lit crit these days and can hardly squeeze anything else in during the school year...

And yes, thanks for that Giles question, I did a mental reassessment of that one too (still up in my top 3 fave Barthbooks), but the query had been answered by then. Would be fun to reread it yet again some day. Ah well.

All the best to the Barth Bunch. Enjoy the summer while it's still here.

And but also -- incidentally, and not that it rilly matters -- there
is no comma after 'Giles' in the book's title, although there is one
in the text when referring to "Giles, Stoker."

So about an hour after I sent my message on Friday, my wife said to me -- sua sponte -- "after dinner, let's go to the bookstore."

So what we did, and I picked up Inherent Vice (the aforementioned new Pynchon).

It's just under 400 pages, and it's Pynchon all right -- paranoia, hallucinations, laugh-out-loud dumb jokes, a strong possibility of another win in the annual contest for worst literary sex scenes. But in many ways it seems like Pynchon-lite. Part of that is because he's self-consciously taken on a light, quick-reading genre, and he's done a hell of a job. Part of it, though, it feels like he explains away a lot of his jokes.

I'm developing an idea that that habit, plus certain stylistic quirks (the symmetrical sentence structure Joyce uses in part 3-or-is-it-4 of Portrait to indicate Steven's precocious immaturity shows up here a lot, in the form "so what I did was, was I did X"; there are other odd-but-formulaic recurring structures, too) and the overrall crappiness of the cover -- the illustration looks like something out of a high school drawing class -- are all part of an overall commitment to the mediocrity of pulp/noir. I hate the idea that the book might be deliberately dumbed-down, but there it is.

I'm also turning over in my head the possible meanings of the lead character's name -- Larry "Doc" Sportello; the last name being Italian for door, or depending on context, window (like a bank teller's window). Doc Door? Now that *would* be a sublimely dumb joke.

I picked up Against the Day when it came out, but have not yet finished it. Actually, not yet halfway. I picked it up again last week when I heard that Inherent Vice was about to come out. (K, I sympathize entirely -- if I can't read as fast as Pynchon writes, am I doing something wrong?) It doesn't have the easy, affable, nostalgic feel of the new book. But, as an interest in Barth might suggest, I'm drawn to books and writers that create their own idioms, that make the reader develop a new way of reading.

Though, to be honest, Giles was never a favorite of mine. One I do always mean to re-read, though.

Subject: Re: Pynchon's IV was Giles, Goat-Boy

josiahthemes...

Pynchon's new novel, in my opinion is fantastic and I believe there is definitely a lot more underneath the surface that constitutes a second read or more. I've been studying Pynchon for awhile and took a class in my undergraduate studies that focused on Pynchon. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) this was before Against the Day came out. I truly loved Against the Day. I also loved Vineland a lot as well. It seems to me everytime I read a Pynchon book, it becomes one of my favorites. I could probably read CoL 49 now and feel like its one of my favorites or M&D and have the same feeling. I do have quite a fondness for GR, M&D and AtD though. I read an Advanced Copy of Inherent Vice and am now reading the book again more slowly (for one I have other books I am reading and am trying to catch up on some Barth novels I missed and I also want to read IV more carefully the second go around). To me, Inherent Vice is the one I slapped my knee to the most and it had some beautiful lines towards the second half of the book that reminded me of Vineland and AtD. I knew from all I heard about the book and all the reviews I was reading what to expect so I wasn't let down in the least. I don't know if Pynchon could ever let me down, I am a huge fan (I even have some Pynchon tattoos).

There's already an Inherent Vice wiki for those interested, also there are talks about a movie for Inherent Vice being pitched. There will be a group reading of IV starting in Sept on the Pynchon List.

Thanks,

Josiah

For Chaucer I imagine he means the original Middle English rather than
a modern translation.  For the Decameron and Odyssey, I haven't seen
him mention a specific translation either.  But if you're asking for
your own reading purposes, I have Lattimore's translation of the
Odyssey and the Signet Classics version of the Decameron (Musa and
Bondanella) and find them entirely serviceable.

Side note:  when he refers to The 1001 Nights, he means The Book of
the Thousand Nights and a Night: the Complete Burton Translation with
the Complete Burton Notes, and the Terminal Index...

John Barth, an award-winning novelist and author of best sellers, was

Saturday afternoon a crowd of some 200 people gathered on the
[Dorchester County] library lawn as a new interpretive sign honoring
the 80-year-old author was unveiled.
