So where does that leave Thomas Pynchon, whose current offering weighs in at close to eight hundred pages - and of often-impenetrable stylized "old english" text, no less? The real Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, America's original sub-dividers, took upon themselves the promethean task of imposing the first trace of order upon the wilderness that was the new world, drawing their famous line demarcating north and south. With his fanciful re-imagining of Messrs. Mason and Dixon, Pynchon has created a veritable universe, similarly bewildering and untamed, for readers to divide and conquer if they can. is a sprawling muddle of historical fact, surreal fancy, fable, fantasy, and occasional silliness, underpinned by the quiet insistence - supported, at times, more by faith than evidence - that somehow it all can make sense; that somehow, given enough courage, dogged determination, or blind luck, order can be either alchemically divined from chaos or forced upon it. Like American civilization, both past and present.

Line, Vortex, and Mound: On First Reading Thomas Pynchon's Mason and Dixon [graphics drawn from Mason and Dixon 's cover, with apologies and thanks to Raquel Jaramillo, the cover designer] by Peter Schmidt [ -in memory of Isaiah Berlin "There is a love of complexity here in America... pure Space waits the Surveyor,- no previous Lines, no fences, no streets to constrain polygony however extravagant,- angles pushing outward and inward,- all Sides zigging and zagging, going ahead and doubling back, making Loops inside Loops,- in America, 'twas ever, Poh! to Simple Quadrilaterals." I n the summer of 1997 a force like a gravitational field drew me to reading Thomas Pynchon's Mason and Dixon . Perhaps it was its subjects, Enlightenment science and the contradictions in American democracy that came to be marked by Mason and Dixon's famous line. Perhaps it was the rumored portraits of colonial America, especially Philadelphia, near where I live. Perhaps it was that I heard that in Mason Pynchon had created his greatest straight man, in Dixon his liveliest comic hero. At any rate, I bought the book soon after summer vacation began and read its first pages in a subterranean coffee shop in Philadelphia (without yet realizing how appropriate such a setting would be). Once I began reading Mason and Dixon I could not put it down for long. Not only was the humor irresistible, making me remember how much I'd enjoyed encountering the bad song lyrics or following that ricocheting aerosol can in the second chapter of

14. Thomas Pynchon, Mason & Dixon Thomas Pynchon, Mason Dixon (Henry Holt and Co., 1997). To settlean eighty yearold land dispute between the Penns and the Calverts http://greenmanreview.com/book/book_pynchon_masondixon.html

Thomas Pynchon, (Henry Holt and Co., 1997) To settle an eighty year-old land dispute between the Penns and the Calverts, the Royal Society sent two men armed with the latest surveyors equipment to plot out a physical boundary line between Pennsylvania and Maryland. Arriving mid-November, 1763, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon found themselves spending the next five years seeking to fulfill their royal obligations. Once they'd established the actual location of Philadelphia, and fixed the boundary between Delaware and Pennsylvania, they headed due west with a team of wagons, axemen, guides, cooks, and supplies, including huge limestone markers. Decorated with vertical fluting, a "P" on the north face, and an "M" on the south, these 300-600 pound limestone blocks were shipped from Great Britain and buried at one mile intervals marking a boundary line across most of the 233 miles surveyed by Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mason. As the book begins, we find the primary narrator, one Rev. Wicks Cherrycoke, speaking to a young audience eager to hear the tale of Charles and Jeremiah's friendship, and just how they accomplished this incredible feat. Ample servings of high seas adventure, meditations on slavery, ghosts, ripped bodices, and plenty of dichotomies, oppositions and polarities follow. Something of an embellisher, the Rev. Cherycoke plays with truth and fable in his story, building myth and moral lessons from the details of these two men's friendship. His tale of Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mason comes from the time the Rev. spent with the team the two men took with them as they clear-cut their way due west through unforgiving terrain. As his youthful audience's attention wanes, the Rev. adds embellishments, changes his focus, adapting the tale to their attention span.

Vol. 2 No. 4, Winter 1998/1997 (#8) "The Plug" The Writer Reads: Stephen Dixon on Thomas Bernhard By Stephen Dixon did a coupla readings for my last novel, Gould , and at one of them a guy in the audience said "Were you influenced by Thomas Bernhard?" and I said "Why, because of the long paragraphs? To tell you the truth, I know he has a great reputation but I started two Bernhard books and I didn't think he did the long paragraph that well. They were repetitive, a bit formally and almost too rigidly written, and I often lost track of the story in them, and other things why I didn't like them, although what, I forget." "No," he said, "or maybe that, but also because Gould is a character in one of his books too, The Loser . I just thought it was too much of a coincidence that you hadn't read a lot of him and been influenced," and I said "Gould? That guy's name in his book is Gould? I thought I made up that forename," and he said "Glenn Gould," and I said "No, my character is Gould Bookbinder and he doesn't play the piano though I think he does love Bach above all composers and especially the composition Gouldberg Variations ," and he said "That's another thing. The first part of your novel is about variations of a single theme, abortions, right?or that's what you said," and I said, "So, another coincidence. But you made me interested; I'll read
