Title: Flashes of great writing mixed in with Pynchon playing games
Review: Some years ago, after plodding through Gravity's Rainbow, I thought that Pynchon was not for me. Mason & Dixon confirms this. After reading reviews about this historical novel, I bought the book, looking forward to some good reading. Instead I found Pynchon's usual games: talking dogs, mechanical ducks, etc. I'm sorry but I don't use the same drugs as the author. When he does write along a storyline, Pynchon's writing is wonderful. Too bad he can't keep it up
