Andrew sez:

     No, `figured out' as in you read and reread the text, you 
     correlate the various cross-references, you build up a picture of 
     who is speaking when and where to whom and in what time-frame, you 
     look up all the big words you don't know in an encyclopaedia and a 
     dictionary and then follow up by reading the various secondary 
     references Pychon either mentions by name or indicates with a nod. 
     
     ...

I don't know, I don't think I can carry all that AND my beach chair.
