Hereros

[R ed Bug]

Hello Christian:

The Herero stuff in V. and in GR is pretty much historical fact, with the
usual Pynchonian filigries.

I suggest you go to HyperArts (www.hyperarts.com) and do a search on
"herero"; I put in lots of historical data regarding the historical
references in V. and GR.
