Lynd: Science, Narrative and Agency in GR

[Glenn Scheper]

I put up this new web page:
http://home.earthlink.net/~glenn_scheper/lynd.htm
_578 SURF links from citations in Margaret Lynd's
"Science, Narrative, and Agency in Gravity's Rainbow"_

I was sufficiently engaged with the Margaret Lynd essay,
"Science, Narrative, and Agency in Gravity's Rainbow",
that I surfed (1/2005) all of the authors cited therein,
and divided out only pages containing these patterns:

"Benjamin, Walter" "Walter Benjamin"
"Berube, Michael" "Michael Berube"
"Bhabha, Homi" "Homi Bhabha" "Homi K. Bhabha"
"Bloom, Harold" "Harold Bloom"
"Brown, Norman O" "Norman O. Brown" "Norman Oliver Brown"
"Butler, Judith" "Judith Butler"
"Chapman, Wes" "Wes Chapman"
"Fanon, Frantz" "Frantz Fanon"
"Foucault, Michel" "Michel Foucault"
"Gleick, James" "James Gleick"
"Haraway, Donna" "Donna Haraway"
"Hayles, Katherine" "Katherine Hayles"
"JanMohamed, Abdul" "Abdul R. JanMohamed" "Abdul JanMohamed"
"Levine, George" "George Levine" "George L. Levine" "George Lewis Levine"
"Mendelson, Edward" "Edward Mendelson"
"Pynchon, Thomas" "Thomas Pynchon"
"Lawrence Wolfley" "Wolfley, Lawrence"

The mechanical rank order is per SURF, best pages first,
but I didn't manually screen out some irrelevant links.

The Margaret Lynd essay was found online here,
http://www.rednova.com/news/display?id=111348
but lacking the author's name! I wonder...

One other page I noticed in the tailings, pages
that missed that mechanical division was
http://www.mugu.com/cgi-bin/Upstream/Authors
Upstream: Authors and Intellectuals, wherein this
mention of a poissonian distribution
(of which I know nothing, but I may soon investigate)
might interest Pynchon readers:

 ....[and Simonton shows that] different grades of
 [multiple] discovery] show a quite specific pattern, namely
 that of the Poissonian distribution, i.e. a distribution
 resembling an inverted J-curve, with singletons having much
 the greatest number of discoveries....

A quick look at poissonian distribution turned up this pdf
with an exemplary graph image, more like detumescing penis
than inverted J; Could such a plot have inspired Pynchon?
