Fwd: AtD, page 549 "nowadays, we just grow more and more invisible"--Randolph

[Mark Kohut]

Ok, my 'new' notion:    given what happens to the Chums in AtD......and remarks like the above.....I want to make the case that 'becoming invisible' is Pynchon's idea of a real good thing to become?!.............
   
  Vision: Life should be finding a partner, settling down, leaving residually fascist organizations (if we can, becoming "free' lance, so to speak), raising a family....
  accepting "grace".........while we can....before the next seige....in whatever interregnum
  we are lucky---chance!---to live in....

  Noseworth, the Master-At-Arms of the Chums division of this organization with a defiant residue of 'fascism', who had no smell to Pugnax early on, is called out, either for real or in a sex-bashing putdown, for homosexuality. cf. homosexuality as a metaphor in Gravity's Rainbow.
