MDDM that Chicken 666.20

[Doug Millison]

"Risqué" (quaint word) I doubt even for the earthy 18th century -- where
its presence argues even more strongly, I think, for Wicks as narrator
here, well within the scope of what he's had to say elsewhere in the novel
-- and certainly not for the 20th century which Pynchon intermingles so
liberally  and anachronistically throughout M&D.
