MDDM The Line

Now I can't remember and I haven't got the book here,
but there is a very useful essay on the Mason's
Journal 
in Mason and Sixon and Pynchon that goes to some of
the narratological issues you raise here. In that
book, 
Brian McHale's essay is a good companion to this one,
damn sorry I can't recall the author's name (begins
with an "F"?) on the sourse material for M&D. Anyway,
it's good read ing for those interested in "the game"
readers play when reading Pynchon. These two essays
are a nice pair--nested narrative, the second person
YOU, a few other interesting things.  Both  discusss
the wind briefly, but niether really says much because
McHale doesn't seem to have read several  major
studeies of GR that would have helped him understand
the wind and the spaces and time.   

Anyway, how interesting it is to be going into america
with an open mind and a respect for all those telling
tales on the jouney. Even  JFK and the losers. How's
that for validation Barb? 

I'm not the we be new, nope, not me, I'm really off to
Brazil and Hondorus and Costa Rica. I'll send you a
letter from Judge Pynchon sometime during holy week.

See ya next year. 

Oh, Terrance says, hi.
