(Fwd) Re: SLSL Intro "A Couple-Three Bonzos"

Charles v. MalignD -- keep going, this could get fun...

I wonder if his being sincere is the joke - hidden in plain sight, so to
speak. I agree with MalignD that there seems little point to the trouble of
"crafting" the Intro as some sort of mask, feint, or coded message. Yet,
it's curious that many of the flaws and weaknesses that Pynchon "admits to",
overlays and embedded references, tendrils, building a story, and
characters, off a set of data-points, word games....well, he seems not to
have "learned".

Maybe the truth...maybe not the WHOLE truth.
