COLGR49--famous first lines

[Paul Mackin]

find that she had been tranformed into Mr. Thomas Pynchon.

Do I have it all wrong or does Oedipa in chapter 1 sound more like a
wide-eyed twenties something recent Cornell graduate with a penchant for
college humor than a  somewhat jaded Penisula housewife?  In any case it's
good fun.
