2. Too violent? Too many allusions, references etc.?

3. The title is a quote from "Measure for Measure"
I,1. The original context of the quote is important:
The Duke of Vienna hands over his power over
"Mortality and Mercy in Vienna" to Angelo. A very
similar thing happens in Pynchon's story. Unexpectedly
Siegel finds himself in a position to decide whether
the guests are to live or to die...
