I sorta have been following how all the earlier work is alluded to in AtD.......by reading and
rereading the earlier work as this read goes forward.......
Allusions, self-sampling as i have called it, cross-referencing and adding much nuance is
pervasive, imho. AtD seems to me to be pynchon's 'summing-up' of all the earlier themes...
AtD, like History is said to be in V. is a step-function, so to speak.
