[Christian Benjamin]

	I want to interupt conversation about _GR_ and through out a 
question about Crying.  My question relates to the influence of Dennis de 
Rougemont "Love In the Western World".  It may be a boring question for 
most but I am a new reader; a pynchon virgin of sorts.  

	What I'm curious/need reasurrance about is:  The Tristero 
is obviously a myth by Tristan (the first book in Love in the Western World) 
standards? 

Question dos-

	The misfortunes of passion in LITWW lead me to believe that 
Pynchon and William Shakes write/wrote with the same idea of passion.  
Q-2 is do Oedipa and Hamlet share the same passion which drives them 
deeper into the plot	


Yet another student,
