You keep mentioning critics and reviews going back for decades as if we all know them and it's self-evident that this is what most people think.
I don't go back and read decades of reviews for books I put down after the first chapter, and I suspect you don't either and are just posturing, especially because you aren't naming any of them. The book is in fact lauded as one of the greatest works of 20th century American art. I can find more "professional critics" expressing that opinion than you can whining that it's hard.
But instead, I'll post more of Pynchon himself. For somebody who's actually fully literate, is this turgid? Is this unreadable? You've bloviated for about an essay's worth of text now but have conveniently avoided pointing out what is so fucking hard.
