"Your father's work is Washington, I think you said

President."

Pynchon claims to have read BDSL MS in 1963.
I have always thought that Farina was so much cooler
than Pynchon. When Pynchon has Van Meter and Zoyd
reminisce about how LSD (X-ray Vision) taught them
about Death/Life and the State, it's seems as though P
has finally caught on to what Farina knew about Death
all along.
