I agree with Doug here. Like great poetry, Pynchon is referencing stuff
while describing some other thing entirely. Though the view is out of the
corner of the eye, it is no less on target and terrifying. The Holocaust
pervades GR, but some may get distracted by the numbers put asunder by the
growing Kingdom of Death, human, animal, mineral, cosmological, etc.
Note that the scariest stories involve things that are only glimpsed
momentarily. Seems we've forgotten how to be scared.
