"Vineland, itself, has pages of this kind of discursive discourse,
free-floating, dashed off, if not Ornette Coleman-like, perhaps similar to a
long Jerry Garcia-sounding riff, slightly out of tune, meandering, a stoned
essence...where one thing simply leads to another, in a long daisy chain of
thoughts strung together like sentences...Mendo talk.  Perhaps, you have to
have been there."

Perhaps.  Perhaps.  It still doesn't *sound* like TRP to me, nor like any
voice he's chosen to try out--which doesn't preclude his experimentation.
Again, we might think convergences, synchronicities, rather than cause-and-
effect.  This is probably one of those Questions We Can Never Answer, but
if Ms. T. isn't TRP, they at least share a home page on the psychic Internet.
