 westwardmen. No. He is 'the' westwardman. The only westwardman. This
 actually suggests that we are not in the collective unconscious. We are
 in the hinterland of one man's unconscious. Slothrop's. This is his
 westwardman and no one else's. Little wonder that little Slothrop
 playing Aaron to Kenosha Kid's Moses had to correct the omission of
 article 'the.' KK was speaking from a context of universality. Slothrop
 lives in a whirl all his own. >>

i'll buy that.
this is my second time through gr and now i am remembering "oh yeah this 
section....what the fuck?". 
keeping in mind what you posted above, 68.93 "there is someone playing a 
mouth harp behind an outbuilding-some musical glutton, mouth-sucking giant 
five-note chords behind the tune of red river valley". so we have the words 
or images of red, water, out house, and harmonica. then there's the bit about 
toro rojo ridin in and that "The redskin'll have a dog with him, the only dog 
in these whole ashen plains..." so if there is only one of everything this 
toro rojo is the indian mentioned earlier?
"the cur will mix it up with whappo and end hung on the meathook of an open 
meat stall in the dirt plaza back in los madres" seems to suggest that this 
has already happened and will happen again. so i guess it seems that these 
battles are on a continous loop. the kenosha kid coda would also suggest this.
los madres...."the mothers" weird name for something in a world of singles.
who are the voices in the q and a section? slothrop and the doctor...himself?
