I've just posted something related to the discovery and creation of meaning
in Pale Fire -- albeit brief for such an extensive subject.  I think
Kinbote's paranoia might have something to do with it, so in order to both
advance our discussion and to help calm the list down a bit, maybe it would
be useful to discuss the presence and function of paranoia in Pynchon's work
in order to relate those ideas to VN (and, as we read, back to Pynchon).
