TPPM _The Gift_: Sentence 4 of 8.

[Glenn Scheper]

http://www.pynchon.pomona.edu/uncollected/gift.html

 He is summoned to the embattled town of
 Warlock by a committee of nervous
 citizens expressly to be a hero,
 but finds that he cannot,
 at last,
 live up to his image;
 that there is a flaw not only in him,
 but also,
 we feel,
 in the entire set of assumptions that
 have allowed the image to exist.

Yours truly,
Glenn Scheper
