  the problem with such a - creative &, thus, likable - view is, of course, that 
  it lacks criteria for differentiating real insights from pure projections. i 
  mean, football ("soccer")teams are, correct me if i'm wrong, completely   
  absent from pynchon's work, yet they probably don't have any meaning in his   
  universe at all ...
