OK, folks I know I'm running ahead a bit, but I you will catch up anyway.

My first disagreement with Wood. He says: 'The Nazi Captain Blicero in 
Gravity's Rainbow and the ruthless financier Scarsdale Vibe in Against the 
Day are not truly frightening figures, because they are not true figures.' 
Blicero, imo, is a VERY frightening figure. Not true, well, it is a complex 
character of great mythological dimensions and his Nazi prototypes were very 
'true'.
