I'm getting my PHD in the Subversive Use Of The Comma in the Works of Thomas Pynchon and I think I see a pattern.

[mikebailey at speakeasy.net]

the different kinds of ellipsis and long vs short hyphens
have always fascinated me.  I've not noticed a
pattern to Pynchon's use of the comma, but, then,
I'm, not, a, specialist

if you read On the Road at the same time as V.,
do you think he just put in all that Benny Profane
stuff so the book would sell like On the Road did?
I've wondered...maybe even an element of parody?
