I can't provide what I usually provide--a paragraph or two
from the article so you can determine if you want to read it
all--because my idle hands are busy painting the roses red
and much to my own amazement in these days of miracle and
wonder I'll be getting out of my bubble tomorrow and maybe
even get to the library and so my time, this amazing amount
of time I share with you all, my cyber friends, well, it
will be better spent I'm sure, watching the children at the
park, dreaming of youth and reading Yeats to old Mrs.
Hamilton...so with no authorial or authoritative
claims...Pynchon does have at least two  relative essays

I'll simply provide the httpthingy and you can open it all
by yourself, 

and besides, I'm sure my choice of paragraphs would only
upset those that are so concerned that I have
both/&/or/and/both/middles/not assumed binary/non valorized/
non-reductionist/relativistic/niether "positive" nor
"negative" ideologically assumed bias and ISMisms to the 
readings of the texts here posted.

Jane says, the history of nunneries and whore house might
interest the group. She should know. "Take thee to a
nunnery." Is Paola mad? As in, she got mad mental
instability. Jane says, Pynchon writes a lot about sanity
and insanity. Well, it's an old yarn spinners thing I
guess.
