Why is Usain Bolt a Pynchon character?
Is it the name (USA-n - which he's not - but also, "you sane?" and obviously
"Bolt" (different from the literal bolt from above that struck Frenesi's
dad)
is also a good sobriquet for a sprinter, as Beryl Bender is a good one for
a yoga teacher)
or liking Coronas the way Zoyd Wheeler does?
and w/r/t this reference:
Kevin Cummiskey (alias K-Pax, aka K-Man, alias KC and the Sunshine Band)
transcribed:
>and puts away Corona's with our namesake
which namesake would that be anyway?
Yes I read the article but nothing bolted out at me.
