VLVL2 (15): Thanatoid Dreams

[Dave Monroe]

p. 365-366 "Thanatoids dream, though not always when
we think we do--"   Weed's dream is extremely powerful
and the image is quite writerly. Is the coroner he's
looking for "to reveal to the world at last my murder,
my murderers" really Pynchon? Are the "companions" who
keep trying to find this coroner the readers of
Vineland? Faithful hippies? Those who refuse to buy
the rewritten version of the Sixties? All of the
above? Prairie says it's DL & Takeshi, Weed thinks
maybe it's his parents. It might even be the Pisk
sisters.
