VV(13) - Dream a Little One for Me

[Dave Monroe]

John Dugdale, Thomas Pynchon: Allusive Parables of
Power (London: Macmillan, 1990) ...

"The principal literary echoes are of Der Zauberberg
[The Magic Mountain] (1924) (the engineer arriving at
an enclosed community of the sick, and becoming
sexually bewitched) and Der Steppenwolf [er,
Steppenwolf] (1927) (the two women, the assimilation
of the studious hero with decadence), with Hesse's
carnival scene a point of overlap with with Poe ['The
Masque of the Red Death']." (p. 92)

By the way, actually made money today looking at some
newfangled soda boxes.  But, finally, my hangover's
gone.  Time to finally get something to eat and go
start the whole process over again ...
