GRGR(10): Cinematic technique

[Jeremy Osner]

There's a really nice example of Pynchon writing cinematically on the
bottom of p. 222. Slothrop and K. have just had a fight and a fuck, and
she asks him to go over the A4 boundary layer temperatures. So he starts
talking, then the narrator trails it off with "blablabla." and describes
the "bridge music" into the next scene, on the porch downstairs.

We seek sex, and are left with two private bodies on a stained bed.
The larger erotic dream, the god, has eluded us. It is so whenever,
moving out of ourselves, we look for extensions of ourselves.
