Yes, in Pynchon both sexes get the blues.  And isn't P in notable instances
careful to make  auto eroticism gender diverse--as in the final passage of
GR. Would this make the proposition Keith introduced somewhat more complex.
Seems like it. The images in the bus station are particularly perverse some
might think. Just dunno.
