Kick-Ass Thank You

Laura: Your comparison between Lake and Gottfried as passive intermediaries 
is a great one. I still think Gottfried is much more interesting than Lake, 
however: His passivity is part of a larger, historical framework, namely 
Pynchon's examination of the (German) mentality which made WW2 possible 
(Pökler is part of this same examination, as is all the Kracauer-derived 
stuff about German movies). I can't really find any such validating 
framework for the shallow portrayal of Lake in AtD. It might be there, but 
I've yet to see it.
I absolutely agree about the difference between Lake's and Cyprian's 
intermediary roles, BTW.
