"a Rorschach test"

[pynchonoid]

This passage, from an essay some of you will enjoy,
reminded me of T's recent, fanciful interpretations of
Pynchon's women: 

" [...]Few of this war's images have had such
longevity or proven more pliable than that of the
smiling face of Pfc. Jessica Lynch. In the seven
months of virtual silence since her rescue from a
Nasiriya hospital, she has become the Mona Lisa of
"Operation Iraqi Freedom." Americans have been able to
read into her pleasant but unrevealing snapshot
whatever story they choose. Those stories, usually
imposed on her by others, have become a Rorschach test
for homefront mood swings. [...]"
