VV(11): The Big One

[Dave Monroe]

"The Big One, the century's master cabal" (V., Ch. 8, Sec. iv, p. 226)

"If he'd been the type who evolves theories of history for his own 
amusement, he might have said that all political events: wars, governments 
and uprisings, have the desire to get laid as their roots; because history 
unfolds according to economic forces and the only reason anybody wants to 
get rich is so he can get laid steadily, with whomever he chooses." (V., Ch. 
8, Sec. i, p. 214)

"He happened to look down.  His erection had produced in the newspaper a 
crosswise fold, which moved line by line down the page as the swelling 
gradually diminished.  It was a list of employment agencies.  OK, thought 
Profane, just for the heck of it I will close my eyes, count three and open 
them and whatever agency listing that fold is on I will go to them.  It will 
be like flipping a coin: inanimate schmuck, inanimate paper, pure chance." 
(p. 215)

"Oh, oh, he thought, look at what I seem to be getting again.  Go down, you 
bastard." (p. 216)

Not to mention its master cabalism (Freud, Reich, Marcuse, Brown, Lacan, 
Deleuze and Guattari, et al.).  Again, libidinal theories of history, as 
both chance and necessity, in both its currents and and its eddies ...

"the ultimate Plot Which Has No Name" (V., Ch. 8, Sec. iv. p. 226)

"He Who Looks for V." (ibid.)

Genealogy of Portentous Capitalization, anyone?  Let me know ...
