In the next few days, I’ll be posting another Dollhouse Riff. Riff #3 will focus on the unaired episode “epitaph one” and how it relates to the Dollhouse Canon. I will also write a Critical Appraisal of Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland. For years, Vineland has been relegated to second banana status in the Pynchon Canon. With the publication of Inherent Vice, the Pynchon Canon requires that we re-examine the works and their critical status.
