VLVL(7) - Karmic Adjustment

[David Morris]

I don't know if it's been cited already, but I just ran across the term KA 
used by Pynchon in his introduction to Farina's BDSLILLUTM from Spermatikos 
Logos. (http://rpg.net/quail/libyrinth/pynchon/pynchon.paper.farina.html) 
 Here he's describing the main character of the novel, Gnossos, who TRP 
sees as Farina during their college years together @ Cornell:

"Gnossos himself is not Mr. Perfect, by any stretch. He has a short temper 
and a low tolerance for organized religion, national mythologies, 
incompetence, resignation, anybody from the American South, racist or not 
-- the list of resentments goes on. He is susceptible to the thrill of 
vendetta or karmic adjustment, an impulse I suspect isn't entirely absent 
from why Farina wrote the novel. "
