... only problem is, now I'm not so sure that I don't
only agree with it, say, 51% of the time.  First the
thunderbolts, and now the Pynchonian Uncertainty
Principle (PUP, though Heisenberg hisself apparently
would have preferred Indeterminacy [PIP]).  Readings
are indeed Revelatory of Politics here, but, in these
instances, they're more reevelatory of the reader's
politics than the author's, or maybe even the
characters.  But such passages are so thoroughly
uncertain, undecidable, indeterminate, iI can't help
but imagine a certain certainty, decisiveness,
determination being exercised in writing them.  Very,
very interesting ...
