You never did the Kenosha Kid?

[Dave Monroe]

This reminds me of Oedipa in Lot 49, or, at any rate,
of Petillon's and Poirier's, and, to some extent,
Hollnader's readings of the novel ...

Hollander, Charles.  "Pynchon, JFK and the CIA:
   Magic Eye Views of The Crying of Lot 49."
   Pynchon Notes 40-41 (Spring-Fall 1997): 61-106.

(Michel, help!  Can't access yr very wonderful site!)

Petillon, Pierre-Yves.  "A Re-cognition of Her
   Errand into the Wilderness."  New Essays on The
   Crying of Lot 49.  Ed. Patrick O'Donnell. 
   New York: Cambridge UP, 1991.  127-70

   New York Times Book Review (1 May 1966), p. 42.
