"The identity of V., what her many guises are meant to suggest, will cause much speculation. What will be remembered, whether or not V. remains elusive, is Pynchon's remarkable ability--which includes a vigorous and imaginative style, a robust humor, a tremendous reservoir of information (one suspects that he could churn out a passable almanac in a fortnight's time) and, above all, a sense of how to use and balance these talents. True, in a plan as complicated and varied as a Hieronymous Bosch triptych, sections turn up which are dull--the author backing and filling, shuffling the pieces of his enormous puzzle to no effect--but these stretches are far fewer than one might expect."
George Plimpton, New York Times Book Review, 4/21/1963
