Earth Attacks!

[Dave Monroe]

One of my favorite Pynchonian passages ...

"But the rocket has to be many things, it must answer
to a number of different shapes in the dreams of those
who touch it--in combat, in tunnel, on paper--it must
survive heresies shining, unconfoundable ... and
heretics there will be: Gnostics who have been taken
in a rush of wind and fire to chambers of the
Rocket-throne ... Kabbalists who study the Rocket as a
Torah, letter by letter ... Manichaeans who see two
Rockets, good and evil, who speak together in the
sacred idiolalia of the Primal Twins (some say their
names are Enzian and Blicero) of a good rocket to take
us to the stars, an evil Rocket for the World's
suicide, the two perpetually in struggle." (GR, Pt.
IV, pp. 727)

I'd be very, very interested in both yr book and yr
bibliography ...
