How does one determine what should, or even could, be
left in or out of a Pynchon novel?  The damn things
are as often as not precisely ABOUT this problem ...

"'Sorting isn't work?'" Oedipa said. "Tell them down
at the post office, you'll find yourself in a mailbag
headed for Fairbanks, Alaska, without even a FRAGILE
sticker going for you.'" (Lot 49, p. 62)
