Sex & the Swastika

[Doug Millison]

rj, why such a firm insistence that TRP couldn't possibly be referring to
Hitler's dominatrix? In texts so obviously rich in literary and historical
allusions, I really don't understand your reluctance to admit what, in the
context of this novel, appears so completely obvious.  How do you answer
the bigger question, which is Why do so many of Pynchon's character names
lead to historical personages whose history intersects so significantly
with the material, themes, and motifs that Pynchon deals with?  Just
coincidence? Or what?
