ATD: cover seal

"When you figure that this character is probably one of the regular Pynchon-l participants afraid to speak in this mode except hiding behind that fake name, an intervention might be the best thing . . ."

Whatever. Just for the record, my handle is my real name. I can see flaws in all of Pynchon's books (haven't really been completely convinced with "Mason & Dixon", though there are numerous passages in that grand experiment that I love), but that's really beside the point, isn't it? If MalignD can't experience pleasure, that's really not my problem. That he boasts of his dysphoria, that's his problem, isn't it?
