When presenting characters who clearly occupy an after-life, unearthly
plane of existence (Rebekah; Thanatoids; Lyle Bland; etc.), and who are as
"real" as his earthly characters, it would seem that TRP moves well beyond
mere "possibility". Possibly. I don't know that I -- or anybody else -- has
the depth of knowledge about what Pynchon is representing to be able to say
so categorically, "at all times."
