animals in M&D

[Spencer Thiel]

Terrance,
Definitely no apology necessary.  You brought up very good points about 
Fang's role.  In the end, I agree with you that the primary meaning of Fang 
is to challenge the thought of man in the age of reason -- Pynch did not 
put fang there to primarily bring up the matter of conditioning and animal 
intellegence.  However, like Allegre's croissants, so too are Pynchon's 
books layered.
