commentary common in

He didn't exist for me in the chaplain paragraph of the STREETS scene.
That's why I kept using the term 'text' as opposed to 'narrator' or
'Pynchon.' For me, literary-criticism and nothingness* are synonyms, so this
undisregarded post evokes issues for which I will try golden seal before
seeking an antibiotics prescription. On the one hand the narrative voice is
describing the scene in which we find Slothrop, but my God it does go on
about things in a manner not very well described as neutrality, nor
impersonality.


* 'Nothingness' here refers to my ignorance of literary-criticism and is not
intended as a value-judgment regarding such.
