ATDTDA (5.1) - The Etienne-Louis Malus

[Mark Kohut]

Does anyone think it is Pynchon's way of indicating the darkness in us, in human nature when it is mangled by 'the day's" narrownesses.....not allowed to be natural?
   
  A kind of Return of the Repressed?.....We sorta know that Brown's Life Against Death was important to TRP...(see stuff on GR)......so, here the Death Wish shows itself, buried in a remote location, in ATD?

I agree with your take here. One gets the sense that the object was
buried in a remote location for a reason. The ultimate "Mummy's
Curse" cautionary-ignored tale would have to be that of Pandora's Box.
