Kenosha

[Aaron Yeater]

Just curious:

I am wondering what TRP's parsing experiment with the phrase "You 
never did the Kenosha Kid" is all about--Is it an exercise in 
literary teasing, as Joyce often does in Ulysses, or part of the 
amytal dream (or both, i guess...)  The question is--what do people 
think  pynchon is attempting to do with the variations in parsing of 
that phrase?  Is it possible that "You never did the Kenosha Kid" is 
'just a phrase,' that the real action is found what he does with the 
presentation of the phrase...

responses?

a perfect snare, had trapped him."
