vv (7): mole people

[Dave Monroe]

... an easy tool, Deferential, glad to be of use.  And that recent
documentary I was trying to recall on New York sewer dwellers is Dark
Days, see the official website at, quelle surprise ...

Also notice the very great Robert Darnton mentioned here, perhaps his
Mesmerism and the End of the Enlightenment in France (Cambridge, MA:
Harvard UP, 1968) might be of interest here, not only as it's a damn good
book, but in re: all that table-tapping or whatever et al. across that
Pynchonian ouevre.  Maybe also his The Great Cat Massacre and Other
Episodes in French Cultural History (New York: Basic Books, 1984).  The
title essay will horrify cat-lovers (though there's a certain ridiculous
excess involved that borders on black humor), but, well, on that witch/cat
relationship ...
