Pynchon's niece/falling standard of public....yadda,yaddha,yaddha,yaddha

[Sean Mannion]

narrative archetypes,

it's all about the archetypes; the 'plumber'/'workman', 
'private-eye'/'voyeuristic neighbour', girlfriend/boyfriends' 
best-friend/sister, 
'stableboy-meets-austere-matriach/crazy-soon-to-be-disinherited-daughter'

Then there's the tonality/contrast issue between the 
music/setting/act-being-performed (why either muzak or 
guitar-wah-fuelled-funk or euro-techno?)...

...parody and satire....

Given today's academic climate, i'm sure there's a whole growth industry out 
there. ahem. well, if Harvard are charging fees for this --

sorry about the awful innuendo. No way of write about this mentally forbids 
them. No matter how I edit this email at least three seem inevitable.
