There are problematic distinctions betwixt said
"muses," said "masters," "the aesthetic," "the
political," at al., being made here, methinks. And
I'd suggest that perhaps those Pynchonian texts,
perhaps moreso than most any others, problematize
precisely those distinctions. Think, as I believe
Terrance has been, as I've been attempting to think,
that Romanticist love-death thing, liebestod, maybe
even that lustmord, whatever, for example, the
contexts, contingencies, and, esp., casualities
(fictional, actual, potential) thereof ...
