Does this discussion of authentic vs. half-baked (the Pynchon/King bout)
mean Elvis Presley is a hack Hitler? (cf _White Noise_).  BTW when
discussing prejudice inherent in language let's not forget its fundamental
phallocentrism..."Women's social inferiority is reinforced and complicated
by the fact that woman does not have access to language, except through
recourse to 'masculine' systems of representation which disappropriate her
from her relation to herself and to other women.  The 'feminine' is never
to be identified except by and for the masculine, the reciprocal
proposition not being 'true.'" From Luce Irigiray's _This Sex Which Is Not
One_, p. 85.      Diana
