TRP and Dickens

[Terrance F. Flaherty]

Responding to Doug M's post on Dickens an Pynchon I wrote:
Yes, Pynchon, -untimely, repetitive, consciousness and historical agencies as
prey of hauntings and compulsions to repeat. Beautiful!
Even if you don't think you know Dickens you do. If you know Christmas Carol,
you know a good deal. Past reconciled, life in the Present, hope for the
Future.

There were four ghosts. Past--reconciled, Present--Life, Future--Hope, and Joseph
M.--"Mankind was my business."
