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'.
