VV(11): Sferics

[Dave Monroe]

Damn!  And I thought the whole "Siege as Cold War"
thing was all mine ...

"Stencil comes to take on the aspect of late-imperial
Britain, or of the USA in the McCarthy-Dulles
era--Manichean, in siege, convinced of a diabloic
plot, holding a single adversary responsible for all
th crises and disasters of the century."

>From John Dugdale, Thomas Pynchon: Allusive Parables
of Power (London: Macmillan, 1990), Chapter 2, "V.,"
p. 121.  Still, glad to have noticed, with a different
take on the matter, and on the basis of different
examples ...
