Jasper Fidget

[Jasper]

Thank you for the warm invocation, Sunshine.  Yes, despite strong 
temptations to absquatulate like Quail, I will host AtDTdA (9).  This 
section runs pp. 239-269, and includes the following sub-sections 
(titles mine):

239-242 Lew meets Renfrew at Cambridge
243-259 The Chums in Venice
260-269 Deuce and Lake Get Hitched

It's the good stuff!

In order to enhance your pleasure, I will provide haphazard annotations 
on persons, places, and various things of interest, as well as dubious 
observations, clever jests, and notes on literary allusions barely 
supported by the text, all thrown together into a shopping-list format.  
Sometimes I will provide stubs -- quotes from the text meekly awaiting 
comment.

For the sake of exhaustiveness I will include the pynchonwiki entries 
(each marked with *wiki* rather than individual credit because wikis are 
so horribly communal).  That way casual readers may assume I've done 
more work than I actually have.

OK then?  Sound reasonable?  You know you can't wait for tomorrow now!
