Of course P doesn't actually write like they did, he mixes the words up
just like he mixes up time and space and character and plot and
laminates the steel like Mollie did in  Paterson. 

Speaking of Capital: 

P manages a pretty nifty critique of American Managerial Capitalism even
though it didn't exist when Mason was navigating his ship across
America's prairie.
