Thanks for your reply, Matt. I'm sorry I cannot continue the discussion
now, just about leave the UT campus. (Tomorrow I'll head to San Antonio,
back in Monday evening; if I meet that cowboy, I'll squeeze the cockney's
words out of him. But odds are he'll be like some senile Mr Thoth already.) 
But I want to add
-- while suggesting in passing that texts like those of Pynchon (and also 
the emergence of the Internet, e.g.,  which Pynchon prophecied in a way,
as Brian Stonehill was the first to notice) may subvert the idea of
distinct "interpretive communities" somewhat -- 
that there is of course also Bonnie's essay on _V._, "She Lives (in Her
Own Time)" which can be found in connection with Tim Ware's WWW _V._
concordance, and Cathy Davidson's essay "Oedipa as Androgyne", and I
recall that there are some feminist articles in _P Notes_, too. (Terry,
your _Vineland_ essay is in some early nineties issue of _Novel_, isn't
it?) Vaska already referred to those _PMC_ articles. What others are
there? And essays on race and Pynchon? 

Back in Tuesday,

Heikki
