blicero's sexuality

[lorentzen-nicklaus]

 "by dressing as a woman with artificial genitalia fashioned from various 
 synthetics and by interdicting the natural attraction between gottfried and 
 katje, blicero is undertaking to found a competing sexual order, one that is 
 entirely the product of human imagination rather than the natural instincts and 
 that serves death - the oven - rather than life." (dwight eddins: the gnostic 
 pynchon, pp. 148f.)

 
 isn't this interpretation a little stuffy, if not homophobe? 

 weissmann's passionate "polymorph perversity" makes him, imo, all too human.

 compare this to pointsman!
