GRGR Continues

[Clare Kennedy]

well you could post your thoughts on gr instead of attacking a somewhat 
unrelated topic.

What's going on with Slothrop in this discussion? Can we discuss him?

Slap me in private, I just don't think Pynchon's reputation is helped any by 
quoting his blurbs on drugs. Not when we have his real work to contend with. 
Great art has been lost by such comments and Gravity's Rainbow is a marvel I 
would like more people to read and respect.

"Signs," the book says, Slothrop will find "Signs…here in the Zone, and 
ancestors will reassert themselves." What ancestors reassert themselves here 
in the Zone? What are the signs? Someone asked about "Schwarz" (gerat, 
kommando). Is Slothrop a "Schwarz" of some sort? Who are Slothrop's parents? 
Does he have more than one? Does he have two moms and two dads or more? How 
about his old man? Is Jamf his old man? Is Lyle his uncle? Is Enzian his 
brother? What are the signs? If Enzien is Slothrop's brother, what about 
Hogan Slothrop? If Slothrop is Enzien's  brother what about Blicero? Is 
Blicero Slothrop's father, if not, than Slothrop and Enzien must have the 
same mother, right? How is Enzien's relationship to his father, Blicero, 
different from Slothrop's relationship to his father Jamf? What's the most 
confusing day in Harlem? Remember, Tom likes this kind of joke. What does 
that fruit-loopy toucan say, follow your nose…
