pynchon-l-digest V2 #1992

[Doug Millison]

In addition to whatever else it might be, the name "Wharfinger" 
always reminds me of that drawing of a finger in GR -- my copy's 
packed up, we're finally ready to move to our new house -- anybody 
remember where that finger points?

Dr. Hilarious is an interesting character, and it might be worth 
discussing the other attributes that Pynchon gives to him --  his 
nationality, his past, etc. I expect we might find that ties in to 
other Pynchon texts.
