Family Author
Somewhere near the beginning of this incisive critical study of perhaps the most elusive and, to some minds, structurally disordered of living writers, Molly Hite notes that the idea of order has always fascinated novelists. She attributes this to the genre's being a hybrid, committed as it is, on the one hand, to a rigorous teleology in which events exist for the sake of resolution, and, on the other, to imitating a world that stubbornly refuses to ad up. the teleological impetus of narrative, she notes, reflects a “a God-ordered universe,” while the mimetic tendency describes “a man-centered world.” And because the two world views are irreconcilable, they pose a dilemma—the dilemma that Pynchon treats satirically in his three novels: that the alternative to theology is paranoia.

Has Anyone Seen Jake
A sheriff walks into a saloon and shouts for
everyone's attention. "Has anyone seen Brown
Paper Jake?"
"What's he look like?", asks one shoddy -
looking cowboy.
"Well", replies the Sheriff. "He wears a brown
paper hat, a brown paper waistcoat, a brown
paper shirt, brown paper boots, brown paper
pants, and a brown paper jacket."
"So what's he wanted for?", asks the same cowboy.
"Rustlin'."

Toughest Time Of My Life
"I had the toughest time of my life. First,
I got angina pectoris and then arteriosclerosis.
Just as I was recovering from these, I got
tuberculosis, double pneumonia and phthisis.
Then they gave me hypodermics. Appendicitis
was followed by tonsillectomy. These gave way
to aphasia and hypertrophic cirrhosis. I completely
lost my memory for a while. I know I had diabetes
and acute ingestion, besides gastritis,rheumatism,
lumbago and neuritis. I don't know how I pulled
through it. It was the hardest spelling test I've ever had."
