to be honest, i haven't really ever "heard" any of p's songs. with the
exception of the song sung aboard the anubis in gr.
speqaking of anubis though. hollander proposes in his "pynchon and the cia"
essay that chapter two  mirrors parts of the egyptian book of the dead. does
anyone know aof any egyptain imagery that p has used that isnt in a death
related context? i cant right off hand.
