Pynchon's reconciliation of apparent opposites WAS Dixon's nonviolence

[s~Z]

>>>I believe you are rewriting Pynchon's text here. Pynchon wrote
"Dixon
places his Fist in the way of the oncoming Face". He did not write
"Dixon punches the slave-owner in the face." Of course, you can do
whatever you like with the text Pynchon actually wrote...<<<

My only point is that placing a fist in the path of an oncoming
face is a violent, not a pacifist, act.

That's all.
