  On this page and in this chunk of the book in general we get that Pynchon
word a lot: to shop (someone) to (something or someone) I haven't read much
spy fiction but is this word a common word or something? Just an idle
question. In the next chapter, another will want to shop someone. The word
shop seems intentional I think because it serves to highlight the
marketplace as the new factory of solutions above other moralities.

Just that one reading of "AtD" is _contre-jour_, or backlit.... and that
there's hardly anything in the book that isn't fore- and post-shadowed and
-shadowing...
