Additionally, intertextuality is a big thing in pomo-lit-crit business. I'm
no professionell critic but I've done the apprenticeship and from what I
know & have learned it would be foolish to rule out the possibility that
Pynchon could have been influenced by Nabokov.

If we get the "ok" from Murty and Oliver we should do it. Everybody who has
objections can easily use e-mail filters. There's no reason to feel
offended.
