Of course, that statement, like the statement
“Subjectivity is  truth”—like, indeed, many of
Kierkegaard’s most piquant
observations—was delivered not by S. Kierkegaard
himself, but by a pseudonym. Kierkegaard deployed a
variety of pseudonyms as part of his program of
“indirect communication.” Seeking not so
much to impart knowledge as to dispel illusion,
Kierkegaard saw himself as a sort of spiritual
therapist. His aim, he said, was to
“deceive people into the truth,” a goal that could be
reached not directly, through argument, but
indirectly, through the semi-fictional discourse of
his pseudonyms. Kierkegaard eventually acknowledged
the authorship of his pseudonymous works, but early on
he took considerable pains to cover his tracks.

Crazy Sue is the folk hero of the boys in Pynchon's
Secret Integration. Follow those sue denims, from the
author of those tom swift books to the bomb. 

Yes, even in the short tales, its about the bomb.
