Revision as of 19:52, 24 August 2007
Starting in May of 1997, a group reading and discussion of Mason & Dixon was conducted via e-mail on the Pynchon-L. The project was organized by Andrew Dinn (hence the name of this page, Dinn's Notes), who divided the text into 26 (?) "blocks"--labeled "MDMD(x)"--of approximately three chapters each. A rotating cast of Pynchon-L members took turns posting a summary, commentary, and a set of notes/questions for each block (which I am in the processing of listing below); these posts were followed by a e-mailed discussion by the group-at-large; this broader discussion can be found by searching the Pynchon-L Archives.
