... not to mention Edward Gorey, Wayne C. Booth, Luis Bunuel, Sean
O'Faolain, Edna St. Vincent Millay, R.G. Collingwood, Hugo Ball, Arthur
Schopenhauer, Rembrandt Peale and George Washington! But I imagine that, if
any of you haven't read Ishmael Reed's Mumbo Jumbo, you really ought to.
Not only a "secret history" of African-America a la Gravity's Rainbow vis a
vis, well, a whole lotta stuff, but I believe Pynchon even acknowledges IR,
MJ in some way in GR, and, if you've an older ed. of MJ, I believe there's
also an interesting V-2 related photo reproduced tehrein as well ...
