Seems to me however from the way Robin has described it that the  
object of the exercise would be to try in some way to tie various  
"disinheritances" and losses within the pages of the novels to  
Pynchon & Company losses, George M.'s losses, Tom's losses, other P  
losses.

The evidence shouldn't be overly circumstantial either. Tom's loss of  
a dreamed-of career in math against Yashmeen's loss of faith in the  
"power" of math to make sense of the world.

Going to be a  time-consuming endeavor.

But if it's possible Robin'll do it.
