There is no doubt about what Patell says, there is clearly a sexual
obsession, the S&M (this is not new to Pynchon's novels, it's there in
TCL49 and GR) relations of the radicals and repressive government.
What Patell misses, is the reason for it. He says that we are never told
why Frenesi is obsessed with Brock and why he is obsessed with her. We
are told why. We are told again and again and again, it's major Pynchon
theme and keeps re-writing it, banging away at the same formula. Also,
Patell is right on about the narrative structure.
