Oh yeah. I remember that day in New York. 9/11? Yeah, I saw it on TV as it
happened. That's the day bombs fell on New York. Seems like yesterday. You
all remember those bombs falling don't you? You saw it. That's exactly what
happened. Everyone says so. Bombs fell right on the Twin Towers. It was
awful. Those bombs falling like that. How far did they fall? A long, long
way. I thought they would never stop replaying the footage of those damned
bombs falling. They showed the bombs falling in slow motion over and over,
so often that the images of those bombs falling are indelibly scorched in
our minds. They're still falling. Blowing up people's preconceptions about
what people think TRP is saying. He's dropping them in essays. Word bombs.
Blasting the hell out of pigeons trying to hole up ole Pynchy. He'll have
none of it. That's why he dropped those logobombs. They're secret messages
directly from his heart to you.
