GRGR 1:5- "...laminar and gently singing"

[Ghetta Life]

I think you're right about this.  But instead of Roland's line, it might be 
better understood as his vector.  Rolands vector (progress) was transected 
(of course Pynchon loves mathmatical terms) by the border between life and 
death.  And it's no accident that the word so closely resembles 
"transcended."

Mr. Mackin is forever saying it doesn't pay tp parse Pynchon, and in a way 
he's correct.  It only makes as much sense to parse Pynchon as it does to 
parse poetry.  Liberties must be taken.
