Atdtda[4]: 98.18 It could have been a religion

[Michel]

Great, thanks for the clarification.  I assume you refer to:

/Eddins,  Dwight///, "*Orphic Contra Gnostic: Religious Conflict in 
'Gravity's Rainbow'*", in: /Modern Language Quarterly/, Vol. 45, # 2, 
1984, p. 163-190.

And for the sake of completeness

/Eddins,  Dwight///, "*Paradigms Reclaimed: The Language of Science in 
'Gravity's Rainbow'*", in: /Markham Review/, Vol. 12, # 4, 1983, p. 77-80.
