Readers of Pynchon: do you think of his novels as feminist?
Post Body
Short answer: I do.
Long answer: It feels like, having spent quite a bit of time on the Pynchon mailing list, particularly in discussions of Bleeding Edge and the spoiler, very few people think of Pynchon as a feminist author -- but I've always felt that way, and I also feel that it's one of the things that sets him apart from lots of other writers who he is often compared to. Rather than writing about the typical things that the "literary set" tend to (oh the struggles of being a man with an artistic soul in New York!), he often has strong women characters who have both flaws and wonderful qualities. Vineland, in particular, I think of as a feminist novel. Am I crazy?
