Infinite Jest

[Wolfe, Skip]

>>Next to the statement about how the prime villains in Vineland are "timber
>>industrialists, airline executives, biological engineers." hahahaha  I'm
>>still puzzling over  whether or not this guy has actually read Pynchon. 
 If
>>he has, how can he be this far off base, and if he hasn't, why would he 
pick
>>TRP in the first place?

Other than this statement (and I read the thing in a hurry) I had the 
impression he knows his Pynchon pretty well.

Here's a thought -- and it's just a whimsy; I'm NOT serious. . . .  Suppose 
TRP is not only the Unabomber, but also the guy who wrote the essay.  He's 
gone off his nut from all the drugs, understanding things humans shouldn't 
understand, et cetera, has been sending the bombs, and now, feeling guilty, 
subconsciously wants to be caught and so makes a (semi) convincing argument 
that TRP & UB are one in the same, hoping somebody will investigate and 
bring him to justice.
