Osbie Feel and the screen test

[Shirley Lim]

     If Osbie really is Pynch, then what significance does the screen test
(always one of my favorite parts) have? Is it another guide to GR, or more
of a parody, Pynch pointing out what he feels to be the faults in his own
writing? What about the casting? Katje suggests correspondences, (very
cool in that it comments on how we should look for those in GR itself, as
well as providing a take on the conspiracy, and thus on GR) but those that
she suggests seem a bit too pat. What about Rathborne suggests his
suitibility for the role? What about the other one (Skall?)?
     On a side note, Osbie as Pynch could explain why he knows about
movies (Freaks) that he couldn't possibly have seen at that time. Also, if
Osbie hands Katje the manuscript, who's she? Is she the editor? If so,
how does that square with her role in the oven? Well, she *is* the master
of meta-solutions....
