[Vincent A. Maeder]

Dangerously close to Descartes...

>> Many of us do this all the time, and, in fact, haven't many folks on
this
list, I'm thinking of Malignd, Pynchonoid, The Great Quail, chosen names
that deliberately imply at some level they are characters within a
fictive
world governed by a belief in the archetypal insights of Thomas Pynchon,
and that list discussion constitutes some kind of an improvised
participatory fiction that emulates intrinsic values within the
exemplary
fiction of Thomas Pynchon? One could actually analyze list discussion
within a fictional context, although we are not explicitly writing
fiction. I guess I'm wondering why you think a consideration of the
Introduction in a fictional context should wait until kind of fiction
can
be conclusively determined or that Paul N. needs to even have a kind of
fiction in mind.<<
