Italian Wedding fakebook

[Deng, Stephen]

James Berger discusses the D&G allusion a bit in his "Cultural Trauma and 
the 'Timeless Burst'" which is in the on-line journal _Postmodern Culture_. 
 It's been a while since I read it, so I don't remember the details, but I 
think he discusses D&G in relation to Frenesi and Brock's sado-masochistic 
relationship.  If you want to check it out, the URL is:

I also read somewhere else though that the allusion may have just been a 
throwaway reference (as if any reference in Pynchon can be considered 
such).

If anybody'd care to riff on the nature of the D&G allusion --
something that made me laugh out loud when I first read it, but that
I've never been able to explicate in rational non-schizo terms, so
I'll refrain from trying here -- it would be a public boon.
